At least 30,000 people are expected to turn out for the premiere of Disney/Pixar's Cars at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, NC on May 26, according to the JimHillMedia.com website. The website, which tracks the activities of the Disney company, said that the event is already nearly a sell-out. All tickets are being sold at $10 with no reserved seating, the website said. It posted pictures of Turn 2 of the speedway, where four screens, 50x115 feet, will be erected. Local promoters maintain that it will be the biggest premiere in Disney's history.
