Get ready for Talladega Superspeedway to teach you a thing or two about college with the $24 student ticket offer, returning April 27-29! The program offers an array of benefits, including a college party with an appearance by Erik Jones, driver of the No. 20 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.
Jones, one of NASCAR’s “young guns,” will be seeking his first Talladega victory in the GEICO 500 on April 29. The day before, he is scheduled to visit the College Party, located in the GEICO North Park Campground, at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 28. Jones will mingle with fans, take part in a fan Q&A session, give away incredible prizes and maybe even try to school some fans in some games.
