#1- Martin Truex Jr., always a fan favorite at the Monster Mile, has purchased 100 tickets to the AAA 400 Sprint Cup Series race for select fans who were unable to renew their September race tickets due to hardships brought on by the economic downturn or other unforeseen circumstances. Loyal Dover International Speedway ticket holders were contacted and told of Truex’s special donation of tickets to the upcoming “Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup” race. The list was compiled from letters or personal stories shared by fans during the ticket renewal period for the Sept. 25-27 race weekend. “When we heard that Dover had a list of fans who wanted to come to the race but couldn’t for one reason or another, we decided to take care of them,” said Truex, driver of the #1 Bass Pro Shops Chevy in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. “The Martin Truex Jr. Foundation is always looking for new ways to help those in need in the NASCAR community, and we felt this was a great way to support fans who wanted to be at the race in Dover. Dover obviously has a special place in my heart.”(Dover PR)(9-23-2009)
