 In an effort to reward the loyal fans of Anderson Speedway and the CRA Super Series, Action Entertainment Inc. has announced huge discount program for advanced ticket orders of the 39th Anderson 400 presented by Great Deals set for Saturday, July 16.

Advanced tickets for the 39th running of the legendary short track event are selling for $15. Included with this purchase is a free ticket to the MAX/WLBC Friday Night Summer Series program on Friday, July 15, which includes pole qualifying for the Anderson 400. This is a $12 savings for the two events. On raceday, adult tickets will be priced at $20 with kids 6-12 admitted for $5. Five and under are free.

For the sixth consecutive year, the Indiana-based CRA Super Series is sanctioning the historic event. Greenfield's Kenny Tweedy won the inaugural event with the Late Model circuit in 2000, fending off challenges from two of greatest stock car drivers, Canadian Hall of Fame member Junior Hanley and Badger standout Scott Hansen.

Daleville's Bull Baker took the checkered flag in 2001 with Chet Fillip, Bobby Parsley and Junior Hanley claiming the last three events. Fillip became the first driver in history to win the Pay Less / Remy International Little 500 and the Anderson 400. Kentucky's Parsley earned the prestigious victory last July, holding off a furious challenge from Hanley. In 2004, Hanley emerged from a late-race battle with former series champion Scott Hantz.

On Thursday, July 14, Anderson’s premier bowling center, Cooper’s Sport Bowl will host Anderson 400 Bowl Your Brains Out from 8-10 p.m. kicking off the Anderson 400 Weekend. Cooper’s is located at 1920 East 53rd Street. For additional information, visit www.cooperssportbowl.com.

Activities for the 39th Annual Anderson 400 presented by Great Deals begin on Friday, July 15, with pole qualifying set for 8 p.m. The MAX/WLBC Friday Night Summer Series will also be featured with Insight ThunderCars on the Oval and Figure 8 and Chappy's Rent to Own Front Wheel Drives in Oval and Figure 8 racing.
