Kansas Speedway announces title sponsor for May trucks race

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race on May 8 at Kansas Speedway now has a title sponsor.

Kansas Speedway announced Tuesday that the race will be called the Toyota Tundra 250.

“I’m excited to partner with Toyota on our NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race,” Kansas Speedway president Pat Warren said. “Toyota has been a great long-term partner of ours, and they have had tremendous success in the series. I look forward to working with them to bring fans another exciting truck series race at Kansas Speedway.”

Tickets for the race, as well as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series’ SpongeBob SquarePants 400 on May 9, are available now along with tickets to the fall race weekend, which includes the ARCA Racing Series, the NASCAR Xfinity Series Kansas Lottery 300 and the Sprint Cup Series’ Hollywood Casino 400.

The fall Sprint Cup race on Oct. 18 is the fifth race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.

Track passes for both Sprint Cup races are on sale for $75 per day along with season-ticket packages, which include a free prerace track pass for both races.

Kansas Speedway also announced it will sell a limited number of VIP packages for the SpongeBob SquarePants 400. The package includes early gate access, a reception in the President’s Suite, Sprint Cup garage tour and access to the driver’s meeting before the race.

VIP ticket holders also will receive special access for the Shooter Jennings prerace concert and backstage access during driver introductions. Former NASCAR driver and Motor Racing Network personality Glenn Jarrett will serve as the group’s host.

A VIP package costs $500 and includes a reserved parking pass. It does not include a grandstand ticket, which must be purchased to be eligible for the VIP experience.
