Pocono Raceway today announced new, fan-driven additions to the June 8-10 Pocono 400 race weekend schedule. These events include a NASCAR Driver Autograph Session with Denny Hamlin, Ryan Newman, Regan Smith and Kurt Busch, and Question and Answer Sessions with drivers Carl Edwards and Martin Truex, Jr.
The NASCAR Driver Autograph Session is open to the first 200 fans, due to time constraints, and will take place inside Pocono Raceway’s Club Pocono (a.k.a. $100 Club), located in the Paddock Area on Saturday, June 9, from 9:30 – 10:15 a.m. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to get their hand stamped to attend this event featuring NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers Ku. Busch, Hamlin, Newman and Smith. Entry into the Pit/Paddock area requires a Pre-Race Pit/Paddock Pass, available for purchase for $50, and valid for the entire weekend with accompanying Grandstand ticket for each respective day fans intend to use the pass. (Note: Times and lineup subject to change without notice.)
The NASCAR Driver Question and Answers Sessions with Edwards and Truex Jr., which also require a Pre-Race Pit/Paddock Pass, will take place on the Thunderstage, located between Club Pocono (a.k.a. $100 Club) and the Cafeteria in our Paddock area. Edwards’ Q & A Session will be led by Miss Sprint Cup and will take place on Saturday, June 9, at 10:00 a.m. Truex, Jr.’s Q & A Session will be led by our President/CEO, Brandon Igdalsky, on Sunday, June 10, at 10:15 a.m. Additionally, live bands will play during pre-race times on Saturday and Sunday at our Thunderstage. (Note: Times and lineup subject to change without notice.)
Infield patrons will have access to the SPEED Stage, the truTV Lizard Lick Towing Concert Series Stage, and our newly-created Barley Creek Wiffle Ball Field. The SPEED stage will broadcast live, all weekend long, including their Trackside Live and RaceDay programs. Fans holding a Pre-Race Pit/Paddock pass can access the SPEED Stage on Sunday morning. The truTV Lizard Lick Towing Concert Series will host back-to-back bands on Saturday and Sunday, starting at 6:30 pm each night. The Barley Creek Wiffle Ball field will be open daily at 11 a.m., starting on Thursday, June 7, for fans to enjoy playing wiffle ball and select craft beers (for those 21 years of age or older) from the Tannersville, PA-based brewery.

It will be open to the first 50 teams of two individuals (100 people total), and will be solely-based on Twitter, meaning all participants much have access to a mobile device synced to their respective Twitter accounts the day of the TweetHunt.
