Previous ticket holders for the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama received an email this morning offering tickets for sale to the April 16-18 Indycar season opener. The sale ends March9 at 6 pm Eastern time. Remaining tickets go on sale after that. The email said capacity is limited, bu gave no specific number.

The email also indicated that the paddock would not be open to fans. Prices are about what I remember, $100 for the three days.

The promoters are emphasizing Jimmie Johnson’s participating in the race.
