There was disco, embraced by its dance aficionados, and soon-to-be classic rock, with its pro-rock, anti-disco camp. Then along came punk rock and its many offshoots. Bands like The Ramones and The Sex Pistols showed the world that creative guitar rock was still alive and well. Although U2 was clearly inspired by The Ramones’ simple sounds and Patti Smith’s sophisticated poetry, this group was still something entirely different. For one thing, The Edge didn’t sound like any other guitarist that came before him. Instead of recycling blues riffs, as guitarists had done for decades prior, The Edge primarily used his playing to add color to the music. He didn’t try to show off fiery fretwork when he took a solo, either. Rather, he used echoes and loops to create whatever mood the song called for. Then there was Bono. Bono had the rare quality of being a great singer, which just so happened to be in a rock band. There was a beauty in his voice, unlike many other gruff vocalists before him. Over the years, he also developed into a smart and witty lyricist. If you buy U2 tickets for the current U2 tour on our site, you’ll be able to experience a little rock history firsthand. Yet U2 is not a group that easily rests on its laurels. The act just released No Line on the Horizon, which is yet another fine album in the group’s significant repertoire. But whether you’re interested in U2 for historical purposes, or new to the band with its latest release, you will not be disappointed by attending a U2 concert.

More About AdvoCare 500

Hosted at Atlanta Motor Speedway, the race dates back all the way to 1960 when it was named the Dixie 300 and evolved through various sponsorships such as the Atlanta Journal 500, the Hardee's 500, the Hooters 500, the NAPA 500, the Bass Pro Shop MBNA 500, until 2007 when it became the Pep Boys Auto 500. The race now consists of 325 laps, totaling a whopping 500 plus miles! Over the years, the start time of the race had fluctuated around mid-afternoon start times, however, today's race is an evening race under the lights. Night races are always sure to enhance the excitement and thrills as they tend to be close finishes. Atlanta Motor Speedway is nestled approximately 25 miles south of Atlanta in Hampton, Georgia. The track is 1.5 miles long and hosts a generous amount of seating, as over the years it has undergone numerous construction expansions. With its quad-oval shape, the speedway allows drivers to grip turns at 24 degrees, and hit the straight-aways at 5 degrees. Additionally, with almost a half mile of front stretch, and 1,800 feet of backstretch, there is not a bad seat in the house. Since the start of the Pep Boys Auto 500 race in 2007, the track has furnished victories to Jimmie Johnson (2007) and Carl Edwards (2008). In addition to this track's lengthy history, recently in 2005, the track was hit by an F2 tornado just months before the fall race arrived! Amazingly, the tens of millions of dollars worth of repairs were successfully completed in time for the fall race. If you are interested in attending the race on Labor Day weekend, Pep Boys Auto 500 tickets are available through this website. With enough seating for 124,000, Atlanta Motor Speedway will sure be full of energy and excitement during Labor Day weekend, so get your tickets fast!
