2013 U.S. Grand Prix: COTA plans fan experiences

To my surprise, the week before the event, I heard from the FIA that I was granted media credentials for the Formula 1 2013 United States Grand Prix.  Having just returned from COTA in October after covering the inaugural SVRA U.S. Vintage Racing National Championship, this came not only as a surprise but more of a logistical dilemma than one might like.  However, preparations were quickly underway so that I could attend at least part of the big weekend in Austin.

Here is an article I wrote based on a press release sent out to media by the track on the Tuesday before the race.  The track is highlighting entertainment that is available to the fans over the weekend.
