Brian Vickers Visits the Georgia Aquarium to Promote Upcoming AdvoCare 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway

HAMPTON, Ga. (Aug. 25, 2011) – NASCAR Sprint Cup Series veteran Brian Vickers visited the Georgia Aquarium on Thursday to promote the upcoming AdvoCare 500 night race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sept. 4. While at the aquarium, Vickers, who is a certified diver, dove with the aquarium’s Whale Sharks, Groupers and other aquatic life.

“I’m here a little bit early for the Labor Day weekend, but it was a great opportunity to experience the Georgia Aquarium,” said Vickers. “I had no idea something like this existed in downtown Atlanta — the largest aquarium in the world. A lot of incredible species of fish here and sharks, but most importantly here to promote the Atlanta Labor Day weekend race. Three races. Incredible ticket prices. Lynyrd Skynyrd is playing and there’s always good racing at Atlanta, so we’re all looking forward to that. What the fans will most be interested in is the $39 tickets that are being sold and the $19 student tickets and always free parking.”
