The Irwindale Events Center, (IEC) recently announced a special ticket offer for their loyal fans that can only be described as an unbelievable generous gift.

The special offer covers eight NASCAR sanctioned nights of racing on the speedway's one half and one third mile ovals plus two nights of their famed Nights of Destruction. Fans can attend all of these events by purchasing season passes at an unbelievable cost of $50. With standard adult general admission ticket prices, on any one of these race nights, going for $15 the fans only has to do some simple math to realize that the season pass offer will save them $100. The season pass offer can currently be ordered online by dialing up www.irwindaleeventcenter.com. They can also be ordered by phone by dialing 1-626-358-1100 or visiting the office in person at 500 Speedway Drive.

To coin a phrase from late night television infomercials: wait, there's more. The IEC is also offering it's fans preferred season parking passes for these events also value priced at $50 which is also a savings of $100. The parking passes are not available online, but they can be obtained via telephone or a visit to the track office.

The fact that these events on the paved ovals were even scheduled at all can also be thought of as a special gift. It was believed back in January that track was going to be demolished by current property owners, Irwindale Outlet Partners LLC, in order to begin construction on a planned, and city approved, 700,00 square foot retail outlet mall. However, in late January the corporation informed track management that they could continue to promote races, on their current monthly lease agreement, until the end of July. That's when the IEC made quick work of developing a schedule for their paved ovals which, in turn, led to the availability of the budget friendly season packages for the fans.
