NASCAR drivers and teams will come home to Lowe's Motor Speedway for the NASCAR Banking 500 only from Bank of America on Oct. 17.

The Fund-Racing program provides area high schools with the horsepower to fight budget crunches through fund raising opportunities surrounding the Oct. 17 running of the NASCAR Banking 500. Tickets are available for the NASCAR Banking 500 for $30 and tickets for the Dollar General 300 are just $20. The schools will receive $10 from each ticket they sell.

Carolina CollegeFest - $49

Saturday, October 17, 2009

To help celebrate homecoming NASCAR style, country music singer/songwriter Eric Church will return to his home state to perform a concert as part of Carolina CollegeFest 2009!

"Having grown up in North Carolina, being a NASCAR fan is a given," said Church. I've been to this very race many times with my dad. To be able to go back and play is a very special homecoming for me.

"I know a lot of my fans love NASCAR and a lot of NASCAR fans love country music. I guess the only question to be answered is, who is louder? The guys and their cars or me and the band. I can't wait to find out!"

Carolina CollegeFest 2009 is part of the pre-race festivities for the NASCAR Banking 500 only from Bank of America on Saturday, Oct. 17. This exciting event geared toward college students will feature a pre-race concert by Eric Church, and include a race ticket in a special section, admission to the pre-race tailgating party and more! Attendees will have the chance to win exclusive prizes like a VIP trip to Victory Circle and pit passes!

There are philanthropic opportunities available for college groups, just e-mail jdiamond@lowesmotorspeedway.com or join our Facebook group for more details! This will be an experience to remember, so grab all your friends and we will see you at the race!

Your ticket price of $49 includes:

  • Entry to CollegeFest tailgate party
  • Attendance at live music events, including Eric Church, Candy Coburn, Paper Tongues, Evelynn Rose and the Mulch Brothers!
  • Entry into the cornhole tournament
