Castroneves, Rahal Featured in Special IndyCar Platinum Pass

Infineon Raceway
SONOMA, Calif. (Aug. 6, 2008)


Race fans will get the rare chance for an up-close chalk-talk session with star IndyCar® Series drivers Helio Castroneves and Graham Rahal with the exclusive Platinum Pass at the PEAK Antifreeze & Motor Oil Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma County at Infineon Raceway, Aug. 22-24.

This exclusive race ticket, the first of its kind offered by Infineon Raceway at an IndyCar Series event, will get race fans special access with two of the top stars on the IndyCar Series circuit on race day, Sunday, Aug. 24.

Race fans will be treated to a special question-and-answer session on Sunday morning with the two drivers. This exclusive session will take place in a hospitality tent overlooking Turn 7 and is only open to Platinum Pass members. Moreover, the Platinum Pass is the only way for fans to get a garage pass, which puts race fans just steps away from all of the stars on the IndyCar Series circuit.

Castroneves (Team Penske) is a two-time Indianapolis 500 winner, as well as past champion of the hit television show, Dancing With The Stars. Rahal (Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing), son of legendary driver Bobby Rahal, became the youngest winner in open-wheel history (19 years old) when he took the checkers earlier this year in St. Petersburg (Fla.).

This deluxe package costs just $195 and includes:

· Meet-and-greet with Castroneves and Rahal

· Autographed hero card from each driver

· Full-event weekend pass (your choice of seats)

· Garage Pass

· Premium Parking Pass

· Platinum Hard Card

The PEAK Antifreeze & Motor Oil Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma County marks the series’ fourth consecutive visit to the Sonoma Valley, and the debut of the newly unified open-wheel series in Northern California. The weekend will also feature the Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series, as well as a double-header of Firestone Indy Lights Series main events and the Historic Grand Prix.
