The Monster Mile pioneers this coverage option for its NASCAR-sanctioned events
DOVER, Del. If an event at the Monster Mile is postponed due to weather as it was for the June 3, 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series race fans who opt for event ticket insurance can now take comfort knowing that they will receive a full refund if they must work on the date of the rescheduled event.
The new insurance option, provided by World Access, provides greater peace of mind and offers a full refund of the purchase price if the Dover ticket holder cannot attend the event for a number of unforeseen personal, medical or travel reasons.
Dover International Speedway leads the way by becoming the first motorsports venue hosting NASCAR-sanctioned events to offer this level of service and protection for its fans. The insurance may be used for all NASCAR events held at Dover International Speedway, including the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series, NASCAR Busch Series, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and NASCAR Busch East Series races. All add-on fan hospitality options at Dover, like the Monster Mile Club and Blue Crew Premium Seating, may also be insured.
We realize that fans choosing to attend NASCAR NEXTEL Cup events are making a significant entertainment investment in time and money, along with some assumed risk, said Denis McGlynn, president and CEO of Dover Motorsports, Inc. This new option from World Access allows our fans to feel secure about their ticket purchase, knowing that they will not experience a financial loss if they cant get to a race for a covered reason. This is an excellent feature that will enable them to purchase their Dover tickets in advance, with confidence.
All Dover fans now have the opportunity to add the event ticket insurance to their September 21-23, 2007 race tickets by clicking here. The deadline to purchase Event Ticket Insurance for all Sept. 21-23, 2007 events at Dover International Speedway is Friday, Sept. 7 at 11:59 p.m.
