As NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers strap in for the 2008 season, Atlanta Motor Speedway prepares to offer tickets to the Kobalt Tools 500 on March 9 for what could be the lowest price in track history.

Starting at 9 a.m. Monday, fans will have the opportunity to purchase Kobalt Tools 500 tickets, normally priced at $100, for the price of the winning car number of Sunday's Daytona 500.

One thousand tickets in Rows 14-26 of the frontstretch Winners Grandstand will be available at this special discounted price. Each purchase will be limited to a maximum of 10 tickets.

After the initial 1,000 tickets are sold, fans will receive a $10 discount off each frontstretch grandstand ticket purchased Monday or Tuesday until 5 p.m. ET. Tickets can be purchased by calling the AMS ticket office at 877-9-AMS-TIX, (877-926-7849), 770-946-4211 or by visiting the ticket office. This offer does not apply to Internet sales.

For example, if Martin Truex Jr. wins in the No. 1 Chevrolet, fans can purchase a $100 ticket for $1. If Kasey Kahne wins in the No. 9 Dodge, the tickets will go for $9.

"The last six cars to win the Daytona 500 have all carried numbers of 48 or lower," said Ed Clark, AMS president and general manager. "This is a great opportunity for 1,000 fans to pick up one of the best seats to the Kobalt Tools 500 for a fraction of the regular price."
