Michigan to host ‘Rookie Pit Stop’ for guests:

A NASCAR race is more than a sporting event. It’s a vacation, an experience, a way of life. Some fans, especially first-timers, may need a little help to make the most of the thrill and understand the sport. So for fans visiting Michigan International Speedway for the first time during the June 15-17 Quicken Loans 400 weekend, having a fellow race fan give friendly advice when you arrive could be extremely beneficial. That’s exactly what the track’s new ‘MIS Rookie Pit Stop’ program is designed to do. Throughout the race weekend, first-time race fans are asked to stop by the MIS Rookie Pit Stop and ask a member of the speedway’s Fan Advisory Board (FAB) and some motorsports insiders for tips and advice on how to understand the speedway and the sport of NASCAR. The Rookie Pit Stop is located near the main Gate 24 ticket office in the New Holland Fan Plaza.(MIS)(6-12-2012)
