This might be the greatest race weekend promotion EVER. Why? Because it’s right up my alley, I love a wedding. Actually I love any event, but weddings are awesome because there are so many details to plan and there are a million different ways you can personalize them. Oh and there’s that whole love thing, too.
I love that Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. has taken full advantage of the new wedding craze of getting married on a perfectly numerically matched date. Last year it was all about getting hitched on 09/09/09, this year it’s 10/10/10 and next year it’ll be 11/11/11. Got it? Anyway, these types of dates have become super popular. And now for the NASCAR fans out there looking for a supercool and unique way to get married Auto Club Speedway has figured it all out for you.
You’ll have the opportunity to get married, or renew your vows, right on the start/finish line of ACS before the start of the Pepsi 400. If that wasn’t enough NASCAR driver Michael Waltrip will serve as your Best Man and Miss Sprint Cup will serve as your Maid of Honor, with ACS president Gillian Zucker doing the officiating.
There are three packages to choose from, all of the details are below. I’m totally planning on being at the Pepsi 400 this year, so I’m really looking forward to seeing all of the couples tie the knot. I know people are going to want to go really casual for this but I still think you should dress it up. Toss the big ballgown and go for a nice tea length dress. That would be super sweet.
Now if only “Say Yes to the Dress,” or “My Fair Wedding with David Tutera” would sponsor a car that weekend it’d be perfection! 🙂
