SUBWAY 500 tickets for children 12-and-under are free when an adult purchases a regularly-priced ticket on the backstretch for the October 21 race.

The child's ticket must be picked up at the ticket office when the adult ticket is purchased. All children need reserved ticket to get into the backstretch grandstands, so when buying adult tickets, please make ticket agent aware of the number of children's tickets needed.

"This is another way for us to make Martinsville Speedway more family friendly," said track president Clay Campbell. "For 60 years we have been a family-oriented track and as we wind down our 60th anniversary year, we wanted to put an exclamation point on that family tradition."

Adult tickets on the backstretch are $47 and $42.

Tickets for both the SUBWAY 500 on Sunday, October 21, and the Kroger 200 NASACAR Craftsman Truck Series race, on Saturday, October 20, are on sale and can be purchased by calling 1.877.RACE.TIX. SUBWAY 500 tickets may also be purchased online at www.racetickets.com.

Ticket prices for the SUBWAY 500 range from $40 to $77. Tickets for the Kroger 200 are $37 in advance. Kroger 200 tickets for children ages 6 to 12 are $5.

The SUBWAY 500 weekend kicks off on October 19 with Carilion Pole Day, featuring times trials and practice for the SUBWAY 500. The Kroger 200 is scheduled for October 20 and the SUBWAY 500 on October 21.
