AAA 400 Drive for Autism Tickets
The AAA 400 Drive for Autism is an annual event that takes place in May. One of the few NASCAR races to be dedicated to a nonprofit cause, the AAA 400 focuses on raising awareness about autism and autism spectrum disorders. This race is the 11th of a total of 36 races in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup and was nicknamed the Monster Mile due to its one-mile length. The AAA 400 Drive for Autism has been held in Dover each year since the inaugural 1969 race and has a history of exciting finishes that leave spectators gripping the sides of their seats and cheering in the stands. With only four laps left to go in the 2017 race, NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson edged himself to a comfortable victory when he overtook the lead as he left a multicar wreck behind him.
