Moreover, throughout the weekend Blue Oval luminaries will stop by the Ford Car Corral to visit the fans. Among the visitors will be Ford Performance Marketing Manager Henry Ford III; Ford Performance Motorsports Engineering Manager Mark Rushbrook; Ford Group Vice President; Global Product Development and Chief Technical Officer Raj Nair; and Ford Performance Global Director Dave Pericak. Additionally, prototype drivers Scott Pruett and Joey Hand are scheduled to stop by for a visit.

There is a 100-car limit for the Ford Car Corral, so if you are heading to the race, you better jump on it quickly. And, if all the other benefits weren’t enough to draw you in, 50 cars from the corral will be randomly selected for an on-track parade lap on Friday afternoon. If that sounds good, you can purchase the Ford Corral Parking Pass right here. You will also have to buy a Corral Superticket to get into the race. The one-day ticket goes for $65 and the two-day sells for $75.

Likewise, you have one more chance this to see Ford’s EcoBoost-powered Prototype scream around the racetrack. The same engine program used in this car will be deployed in the forthcoming Ford GT racer. If you are part of the Ford Car Corral, you’ll also have the chance meet the car’s drivers Scott Pruett and Joey Hand.
