Tell him to beg!
We buy season tickets in October so we were already going to be up there, I was hoping they still had some vouchers left as it said limited quantities.
August is going to be the iffy one for us.

He started a new job December 1st and although he gets tons of personal days, his probation period isn't over until June I was a loser and didn't realize that the race was on Sunday. I don't watch Nascar. LOL. We live 14 hours away so he wouldn't make it back in time for work. I don't know if he's going to ask about it, but I doubt he'd risk it. Plus, by the time we bought gas and hotel, it'd probably be cheaper to do to one closer. I don't know if I can give my vouchers to someone else or not :/

I think the name on the voucher has to match an ID when presented for the tickets, so people don't sell them.
Maybe call/email them and let them know you can't use the vouchers after all so they can give the seats to someone else?

Make your hotel reservations now, for March and Aug. August is really hard to get a decent priced place to stay up there!
The place we stay at is already booked solid for both weekends. I made those reservations in December!

I tried looking for hotels and EVERYTHING was booked. I might have been looking in the wrong places but damn, the only thing that was available was over 1.5 hours away....That was through Priceline and Travelocity.

I found ONE booking for $160 a night at the Americourt. I just got off the phone with em. That's all I could find. But it had good reviews at least. We decided to stay Saturday through Monday I guess.
