Area 7-eleven® Stores Rev Up For November Nascar Race Weekend

As Official ‘Qualifying Days' Sponsor, 7-Eleven Gives Away

(Wednesday, September 27, 2006) - In its first promotion as the official convenience store of Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) and qualifying title sponsor, 7-Eleven, Inc. is giving away 100,000 free and reduced-price tickets to the NASCAR triple-header race weekend in November.
Good for free and reduced-price admission to qualifying session races, the tickets will be available in Dallas- and Fort Worth-area 7-Eleven® stores while supplies last starting Thursday, Sept. 28. The Nov. 2-5 weekend includes the Dickies 500 NASCAR Nextel Cup race, O'Reilly Challenge Busch Series race and Silverado 350k Craftsman Truck Series race.

7-Eleven Qualifying Days are Thursday, Nov. 2, and Friday, Nov. 3, at Texas Motor Speedway. The two-part ticket, available exclusively at 7-Eleven stores, includes a tear-off free admission coupon to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series qualifying session that Thursday at 7 p.m. when drivers will qualify for Friday's Silverado 350k truck race.

The remainder of the 7-Eleven ticket may be redeemed at TMS box office Friday for a $10 discount off admission to the day's racing events, which include qualifying series for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series and Busch Series, as well as the Silverado 350 Craftsman Truck Series race that evening.

"These tickets are available exclusively to 7-Eleven customers, and we expect them to go fast," said John Moritz, 7-Eleven's director for regional marketing. "7-Eleven Qualifying Days will give thousands of NASCAR fans a chance to be among the first to see their favorite drivers this fall at Texas Motor Speedway."

Moritz said 7-Eleven plans to announce later this year other partnerships with sports teams, tracks and events for 2007.
