Coming off a very successful launch of digital collectibles in 2021, Speedway Motorsports will drop the Atlanta Motor Speedway editions of NFTs during race week for the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500.
Beginning Monday at 1 p.m. Eastern Time, 5,000 animated AMS stadium series NFTs priced at $5 each, including 500 rare gold versions, will hit the blockchain on RaceDayNFT.com, Speedway Motorsports’ fan-focused digital collectible marketplace.
On Thursday, 2,500 AMS-themed virtual diecast NFTs will be released and remain on sale through Sunday priced at $30 each. Then on race day, Sunday, March 6, commemorative Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 ticket NFTs will be available for fans both at and away from the speedway. Sunday ticketholders can obtain one of 5,000 platinum collectible ticket NFTs for free and fans not in attendance can purchase one for just $10. The $10 collection will also include 500 rare golden commemorative tickets.
Speedway Children’s Charities also will benefit from NFTs. RaceDayNFT.com will feature 1,000 SCC track tokens that will sell for a $50 donation. All proceeds from token sales will benefit SCC’s Atlanta Chapter, which supports non-profit children’s organizations in the Atlanta area.
An NFT (non-fungible token) is a unique digital collectible (such as an image or video) that is officially licensed and recorded on the blockchain to demonstrate proof of ownership. To recap, Atlanta Motor Speedway’s 2022 collection includes the following:
• Stadium Series: 4,500 standard and 500 rare gold NFTs will drop on Monday, March 14 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time at RaceDayNFT.com. The cost is $5.
• SCC Token: 1,000 tokens will be available beginning on Wednesday, March 16 of race week for $50 each. All proceeds will benefit Speedway Children’s Charities.

About the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 weekend:
Since 2015 the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 has been the main event in Atlanta Motor Speedway’s spring NASCAR weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway. This storied race brings awareness to Folds of Honor and its mission to help families of military servicemen and women who have fallen or been disabled while on active duty in the United States Armed Forces.
On Sunday, March 20, 2022, this 500-mile race will be the first for the NASCAR Cup Series on Atlanta Motor Speedway’s revamped racing surface, with NASCAR’s best taking to the reconfigured 28-degree banked corners for the first time.
The race weekend also features Atlanta’s same-day NASCAR doubleheader on Saturday, March 19, 2022. The thrills of the Fr8 208 Camping World Truck Series race and the Nalley Cars 250 Xfinity Series race all happen in one action-packed day that race fans look forward to every year.
