    NASCAR fans can now buy single-day tickets for the third annual Pacific Office Automation 147. The NASCAR Xfinity Series and ARCA Menards Series West will return to Portland International Raceway on May 31 and June 1. Tickets are available starting on April 30 at RacePortland.com for the race weekend.

    Friday and Saturday General Admission tickets are available for $25 and $60, respectively. A 2-Day General Admission ticket will be $75. Single Day Grandstand seats will also be available, offering the best vantage points at PIR. Children 12 and under are granted free General Admission when accompanied by a ticketed adult.

    "We are excited to see both returning race winners and rising stars of NASCAR compete across both days of the 2024 Pacific Office Automation 147. From Marco Andretti to A.J. Allmendinger, we will have some of the biggest names in racing in Portland for an action-packed weekend,” said Jerry Jensen, vice president and general manager of Green Savoree Portland, LLC, which owns and operates the event at PIR. “We look forward to seeing all our terrific Pacific Northwest race fans back at PIR one month from now!”

    NASCAR weekend begins on Friday, May 31 with sports car competition from PRO3 BMW racing cars, and then ARCA Menards Series West stock car action. At 5 p.m. PT, the ARCA field featuring veteran NTT IndyCar Series driver Marco Andretti, defending series champion Sean Hingorani and returning Portland ARCA winner Landen Lewis will take on the twists and turns of PIR for a 57-lap race.

    On Saturday, June 1, the NASCAR Xfinity Series will take the track for qualifying, autographs and the feature 75-lap race. The 2024 Pacific Office Automation 147 will boast a competitive field of NASCAR Xfinity Series drivers including three-time Supercars champion Shane van Gisbergen (Kaulig Racing) and the past two Portland race winners - A.J. Allmendinger (Kaulig Racing) and Cole Custer (Stewart-Haas Racing). In 2022, Allmendinger won the inaugural Pacific Office Automation 147 after coming from the very back of the field to take the lead on lap 72 of 75. In 2023, Cole Custer beat Justin Allgaier to the finish line by 0.142 seconds after taking the lead late after an overtime restart.

    In addition to Single Day tickets, 2-Day Grandstand seats and 2-Day parking passes are still available offering the best weekend value for fans. All ticket pricing and options and event updates, including the weekend schedules, are posted at RacePortland.com.

    In addition to the NASCAR weekend, racing fans will thrill to the return of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship for the Hankook Portland E-Prix on June 29-30 at PIR. Formula E is an all-electric racing series, using nearly identical cars and with defined power output and battery capacity.
