What’s the best way to interact with NASCAR’s most recent Sprint Cup Series Champion? The answer is simple: make sure to be a part of the Talladega Experience – the ultimate “FAN” hospitality area.

Brad Keselowski, NASCAR Sprint Cup’s reigning champ and defending titlist of the Aaron’s 499, is scheduled to make an appearance at the Talladega Experience on the morning of Sunday, May 5, just prior to the 2013 edition of the always exciting Aaron’s 499 on the famed high banks of the 2.66-mile Talladega Superspeedway.

“I always love coming to Talladega, and it’s a great venue for me to interact with the fans,” said Keselowski, who shocked the world with his first career triumph at Talladega in the Aaron’s 499 in 2009, piloting an unsponsored car. “Talladega will always hold a special place in my heart. You never forget your first win, so I will have lots to talk about to the fans in May at the Talladega Experience,” added the driver of the No. 2 Miller Lite Ford.  Continue reading →

Bruton’s Big Bonus Adds One Million More Reasons For Drivers To Get Up on the Wheel in the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race

When the money’s on the line, NASCAR’s best drivers better keep their feet on the gas.

But this year, the pot gets even sweeter with the introduction of Bruton’s Big Bonus. When NASCAR’s best take to the high banks of the legendary 1.5-mile superspeedway, drivers will have a million more reasons stay up front from the first green flag until the checkered falls. If one driver wins all four 20-lap segments and bests the field in the final 10-lap shootout, he will double his winnings and take home Bruton’s Big Bonus of an additional $1 million.

NASCAR responded to fans and did what they could last year by changing rule packages to minimize tandem racing as much as possible, with hopes the new design of the Gen6 car would address the concern of these fans next season. Continue reading →
