Hotel reservations are now open:

https://www.bestwestern.com/Grassroots Motorsports 2000 Challenge 2024

The hotel is usually super busy in April and there's a conference going on, too, so they expect to sell out. I'd make your reservations ASAP.

If you haven't already, I would call the hotel directly. Might just be a quirk with how they have the block put into the system. 

You'll need to log in to post.
