From November 18, 2012-January 6, 2013, Gift of Lights will take place at the Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Per the description: “With more than a million LED lights illuminating hundreds of festive holiday displays, participants will have the opportunity to see the AMS in a whole new light. Traveling in and around the grandstands and through a brilliantly lit tunnel, riders will travel through a mile and a half of sparkling holiday splendor and be able to experience areas of the speedway not accessible on race days.”
While you’re there, tune to the Speedway’s 90.3 FM radio signal to listen to Christmas music + messages from NASCAR drivers.
Bonus: On Friday-Sunday, December 7-9, 14-16, and 21-23, you can shop the Speedway gift shop or get a free photo with Santa.
Admission is $15/car on Monday-Thursday, and $20/car on Friday-Sunday + holidays. Want to head out on the cheap? Stop by metro-Atlanta Walgreens locations to get discount tickets. With the deal, you can get $12 admission on Monday-Thursday & $15 admission on Friday-Sunday.
The first 15,000 vehicles will receive gift bags with coupons and savings offers. The Atlanta Motor Speedway is located in Hampton, GA.

WARNING: admission to Gift of Lights allows you to drive thru the short display ONCE. If you want to drive thru twice to try to make out some of the illegible displays the staff tries to sell you a season pass. Better displays like Fantasy in Lights at Callaway Gardens or Life University in Marietta let you drive thru as often as you like for a single admission, and Life University only charges $5! We do not recommend this display.
