Entering the 2013 edition of the Aaron’s 499 at Talladega Superspeedway, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., driver of the No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, has “two” career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victories in the May classic. As a result of his success at the 2.66-mile facility, and in recognition of him being in position “two” in the title chase after “two” races in 2013, Talladega is offering a special Dale Jr. “Two for $88” ticket package for the upcoming Aaron’s 499 set for Sunday, May 5.
The “Two for $88” Dale Jr. opportunity includes two Anniston Grandstand tickets located in between turn four and the frontstretch Tri-Oval for the Aaron’s 499, and presents a savings of over $50 off race time pricing. The offer is good though Monday, March 18, while seats last.
“Talladega has a lot of history, and I am proud of what I have been able to accomplish there,” said Dale Jr., who is the only driver to ever win four straight Sprint Cup Series races at the superspeedway. “I like the mystique the place has, a lot of great and interesting things happen. It is always fun to go to Talladega because it is such a different kind of track. It is really big and it is a nice change of pace from all the mile and a half stuff we do,” added NASCAR’s most popular driver, who finished second in the season-opening Daytona 500.
