Lucky Fans To Get Great IMS Prize Packs


Fans of two of the fastest sports – racing and hockey – can see 2005 Allstate 400 at the Brickyard winner Tony Stewart try his hand at coaching the Indiana Ice and also receive great Indianapolis Motor Speedway giveaways during Tony Stewart Night presented by J.D. Byrider on Wednesday, Jan. 3.

The Ice, a member of the United States Hockey League, will play the Chicago Steel at 7 p.m.

Stewart will serve as an honorary assistant coach for the Ice during the first period and will be behind the team's bench. After the first period, six rows of lucky fans will win a chance to meet and receive an autograph from Stewart, an Indiana native, two-time NASCAR season champion and 1996-97 IndyCar Series champion.

Many Indianapolis Motor Speedway items also will be awarded, including:

•Ten fans will be randomly selected to receive IMS "Summer of Speed" prize packs, which each contain two 2007 Indianapolis 500 qualifying day tickets.

•The first 1,000 fans in attendance will receive 2007 "Summer of Speed" posters courtesy of IMS.

•Fans who register for the IMS Wing & Wheel newsletter also will receive a free copy of the "Back 2 the Bricks" collector's edition DVD, while supplies last.

The evening will start at 6 p.m. with a special pre-game VIP party with Stewart at the Old National Bank Grand Hall. The party features a special dinner, autograph session and a silent auction for special Tony Stewart memorabilia. All proceeds will go to support the Tony Stewart Foundation, a major supporter of local youth-based charities.

Tickets for the VIP pre-game party are $75 and include admission to the game. They can be purchased through the Indiana Ice offices by calling (317) 925-4423.
