Parking and strollers

| | Comments (0) |

The FanZone took up a lot of parking spaces that used to be available at the race track. Before the race, Gillian Zucker, the president of the California Speedway, said she saw a man putting up a handwritten sign that read "Wolfgang Puck stole my parking." Wolfgang Puck opened a new restaurant in the FanZone called Apex last weekend.
Zucker said she approached the man and offered to take him to lunch at Apex. Afterward, the man went back to his sign and took it down.
"That says a lot about how much fans appreciate what an incredible offering this is," Zucker said.
Zucker has been around NASCAR tracks for a number of years. In that time she has learned that International Speedway Corporation, which owns California Speedway and a number of other tracks across the country, has a stroller policy. No strollers are allowed in the track grandstands. It's never been a tough policy to enforce because Zucker said she never saw a stroller at a race track, until Sunday.
She said she saw a significant number of strollers at the race track and it made her reconsider the track's stroller policy.
Strollers are still not permitted in the grandstands, but they will be allowed in the FanZone.
