Sharpie 500 2009
One
of the most popular races in the NASCAR
Sprint Cup schedule, the Sharpie 500 airs live on ESPN beginning
at 7 pm on Saturday, August 22, 2009 as the green flag goes down
and the lights go on at the Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol,
Tennessee.
For more media coverage, watch on racing channel PRN or listen
in on Sirius Satellite Radio.
One of the
final races in the "Race for the Chase", the Sharpie
500 is strategically placed in between the Coke
Zero 400 and the Chevy
Rock and Roll 400, the closing races before the final battle
for position in the annual Cup
Chase.
The party
atmosphere at Bristol makes this one of the "one of the best
damn races" and one of the hottest tickets in the cup series
for late summer excitement.
Race sponsor
Sharpie knows how to kick up pre-race hoopla with interactive
family fun, when fans get the opportunity to scribble at the "Write
Out Loud Zone" or write messages to their favorite drivers
on the 300 foot long "Ultimate Fan Wall" all
happening in the afternoon before the evening race even begins.
