KANSAS CITY, Kan., April 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As Kansas and Missouri prepare for the upcoming STP 400, select Walmart stores will offer authentic NASCAR merchandise and host exclusive fan events starting April 18. Customers are invited to attend these special events and enjoy real show car displays, along with driver appearances by Clint Bowyer, Brad Keselowski, Bobby Labonte, and Greg Biffle, and racing simulators – perfect to safely get behind the wheel and feel the power of NASCAR – on April 18 – 21.

"Walmart is the champion of the racing fan, and we are committed to providing customers with savings on authentic merchandise, as well as unique race time experiences," said Kent Gerke, Walmart market manager. "We want to give fans affordability and accessibility, so they can enjoy race time with their families and friends."

Kansas Speedway opened its gates for the inaugural race weekend in June 2001, running the NASCAR Winston West Series Kansas 150. With over 72,000 seats in 65 rows, the facility offers a unique ground level concourse that allows spectators to walk down 30 rows (on grade) or up 35 rows (on structure).

Legends of Racing
In celebration of its 50th anniversary, Walmart is sponsoring racing legend Bill Elliott driving Walmart #50 at the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona on July 7. Bill Elliott and the Walmart #50 show car will also make appearances at select Walmart stores nationwide leading up to the race.

Through the Legends of Racing online engagement, fans have the opportunity to share their memories and voice their opinions about the top moments in NASCAR history, as well as vote on Bill Elliott's uniform and helmet design.

Fans can vote online at Walmart.com/NASCAR from March 28 - May 14.

Race Time at Walmart
In addition to the fan events happening in Walmart parking lots, area Walmart stores will feature savings on all the food and snacks you need to enjoy the race, plus authentic NASCAR merchandise such as T-shirts and racing flags, with an even bigger selection of exclusive products available at Walmart.com/NASCAR.
