The JERSEY RUSH will again offer a pit-side Meet & Greet when race fans are invite into the pits from 5 to 6 PM on race night. In 2014, hundreds of race fans entered the pits to get a glimpse and autograph of their favorite driver and to view the high speed equipment before it enters competition for the night. Many race teams had free autographed photos and drivers and crew members alike would stop for special photo shoots with the fans. Many drivers were also selling their team shirts as well, making this a great interactive event for competitors and fans.
