Unless it is a military type organization than the Sunday tickets make sense, happens quite a bit.

Definitely Sunday tickets, which we've been offered before but never such a staggering amount. As of today there have only been a handful of people choosing to take them.
Have had several acquaintances from other agencies telling me the same offer is being made across the State.
As another poster noted above I too was a season ticket holder (four tickets) for both races for over a decade but gave them up several years ago after the hassle at Loudon took it's toll on us. Today I wouldn't even go with the free ticket offer. NASCAR has left me behind with a lot of changes they've made the last few years that I think have really taken a lot of the challenge and sport out of the races.
That said I wish the new owners well and hope that even with the economy in the state that it is that they have a good turnout for the weekend!
