Lee<\/span><\/font>, NH<\/span><\/font> (March 6,2009<\/span>) — As a part of “Lee USA Families” program, several changes have been made at Lee USA Speedway for 2009.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Effective immediately, Lee USA Speedway will officially recognize and dedicate a “family section” at the race track. The section of the bleachers directly in front of the Johnson Lumber Control Tower, and next to the Kids Zone, is now the “family zone”.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This area of the bleachers is set aside for families with young children. There will be NO SMOKING, NO SWEARING, and NO ALCOHOL allowed in this section of the bleachers. Patrons that violate this policy will be subject to removal from the section and possibly removal from the facility completely.<\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

To further the commitment that Lee USA Speedway has to families, the track has announced that ages for junior admission pricing will change from 10 and under, to 12 and under. As a result, student pricing will now be for fans between the ages of 13 and 16. Adult admission will remain at the reduced 2008 ticket prices of 10 dollars per person for weekly events.<\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

In addition, there will be two major structure changes at Lee in 2009. First, Lee USA Speedway will now sell tickets at a new back gate ticket booth every Friday night. This should help alleviate the traffic problem a bit and get people into the races faster.<\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Secondly, the porta<\/span> potties will be removed and will be replaced with a brand new full bathroom facility where they once stood. The facilities will feature working plumbing in two separate sections with separate entrances and exits for men and women. Both restrooms will have changing tables for the convenience of those with children that may need those services. Construction on the new restrooms is expected to be completed in July.<\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

The renovation is partly made possible from a capital improvement grant and NASCAR. Combined with the investment from Lee USA Speedway, the improvements are scheduled and everyone at Lee USA Speedway is looking forward to being able to provide the improvements to the Lee USA Speedway fans, racers, and staff members.<\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Tickets and registrations<\/span><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

On April 1st<\/sup> tickets will go on presale for the July 14th<\/sup> event at Lee USA Speedway. Fans may contact the PASS offices at <\/span><\/font>http:\/\/www.proallstarsseries.com\/<\/u><\/span><\/font><\/a><\/span><\/font> to purchase advanced tickets for PASS’ return to Lee USA Speedway.<\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Due to popular demand, the reserved seating for the 2009 Monster Truck shows on July 4th<\/sup> weekend will be on the front stretch rather than in the Daytona chair back section.<\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Also, drivers that register BEFORE April 1st<\/sup> will receive a coupon booklet. The booklet will contain discount coupons for selected premium shows, helping the drivers avoid any potential price increase for pit admission at those shows.<\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Lee USA Speedway hopes that the changes are all seen as positive changes for the racers and for the fans. Lee USA Speedway understands that in this economic climate we all need to work together, and hopefully the changes for 2009 will help families get out for a great night of racing in a safe and affordable environment.<\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
