DARLINGTON – In an effort to reduce costs for fans attending the 2009 Southern 500, Darlington Raceway and Americrown, the track’s concessionaire, have reduced prices on some food and beverage items and added value meals to the menu.

“We want our fans to be able to come to the Southern 500 presented by GoDaddy.com, bring the family, especially Mom, buy a Coke and a hot dog and enjoy the event without worrying about their wallet,” said track President Chris Browning. “We have the most loyal fans in NASCAR and we want to do everything we can to keep the cost of attending an event at Darlington Raceway down.”
In addition to the reduced prices fans will also notice two new signature Darlington items on the menu, the Darlington Super Slaw Dog and the Carolina Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich with Coleslaw.
Priced at $5, the Darlington Super Slaw Dog is 1/3 pound, all beef hot dog served with coleslaw and other hot dog condiments. Also new for 2009 in the Carolina pulled pork BBQ sandwich with coleslaw served on a Kaiser roll with a choice of mustard style BBQ, vinegar style BBQ or Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ and is priced at $6.
"We are working closely with our tracks to tailor menus and concession prices to better serve their guests,” Americrown President Michael Gentry said. “The economic conditions have forced everyone to take a step back and re-evaluate the way we are doing business. In the end, the fans will be better served and our business will be more efficient because of the changes we make today.”
