The event ticket features a vintage picture of Irvan taken after his first victory at Sears Point Raceway in 1992. Next to Irvan will be pictures of the two cars he drove to victory, the Kodak Film Chevrolet (1992) and the Texaco Havoline Ford (1994). Irvan's signature will appear on each ticket.

Irvan will be available for autographs during a "Meet and Greet Day" on Saturday, June 24.

Irvan will be there the entire time and sign autographs.

Irvan is one of three two-time winners in NASCAR at Sears Point Raceway, along with Jeff Gordon (1998, 1999) and Rusty Wallace (1990, 1996). The Save Mart/Kragen 350 NASCAR Winston Cup Weekend is set for June 22-25.
