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.

The Sprint Cup Series continues their west coast swing this weekend at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. After a shaky first two races of the season, many teams will look for a rebound performance in “Sin City.” The Las Vegas Motor Speedway has been referred to as “Jimmie’s House” since the five-time champion always seems to run well at the track. Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards are the latest drivers to claim victory in Vegas but, anyone could come out of Vegas on-top this weekend.

The green flag for the Kobalt Tools 400 is set to wave on Sunday March 10th, 2013 at 3:16 PM EST (12:16 PM PT). The race will consist of 267 laps and 400.5 miles. The weather for race day at Las Vegas looks like great racing weather with sunny conditions and a high temperature of 69 F and a low of 45 F with a zero percent chance of rain. The race can be seen on TV on FOX and a radio broadcast of the race can be heard on PRN. Continue reading →
