LUCAS OIL SPONSORS LIMITED NUMBER OF DISCOUNTED 60TH ANNIVERSARY TICKETS AVAILABLE FOR MAC TOOLS U. S. NATIONALS

CLERMONT, Ind. – The 60th anniversary season of the NHRA comes to Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis for the 57th running of the Mac Tools U. S. Nationals presented by Lucas Oil, and to celebrate the event, Lucas Oil is sponsoring a limited number of specially-priced general admission tickets during the weekend in honor of NHRA’s 60th anniversary season. A total of 6,000 tickets will be offered to the public at the low price of $20 per ticket with 2,000 available for Friday, 1,000 tickets each on both Saturday and Sunday and 2,000 tickets on Monday. 


These tickets will be good for admission to the general admission section of the grandstands located on the west side of the track.   This limited edition offer will be available starting on Tuesday at NHRATIX.com and buyers should use the password LUCAS at time of checkout.

Additionally, fans may continue to purchase general admission, reserved-seat and Top Eliminator Club tickets for the event at both NHRATIX.com and at by calling the NHRA Ticket Sales Center at (800) 884-NHRA.  Fans purchasing adult reserved and general admission tickets in advance will save $2 per ticket on gate ticket prices.

Throughout the years fans at Lucas Oil Raceway have cheered on drag racing immortals like Shirley Muldowney, Bob Glidden, “Big Daddy” Don Garlits, Tom “The Mongoose” McEwen and Don “The Snake” Prudhomme, as they raced to the winner’s circle and etched their names into the NHRA record book. Today’s stars – such as eight-time Mac Tools U.S. Nationals Top Fuel winner Tony Schumacher and four-time Funny Car winner John Force – will be racing at more than 300 mph to continue to build upon their legacies. For many of the competitors, the race has evolved into much more than an annual contest of speed. For those who seek to become a part of its mystique, winning the event has become a must for any great driver to complete his or her resume.
