First Time at a Dirt Track?

🪑 Seating Tips

Bring a seat cushion—bleachers get hard after a few hours. Sit higher up to see more of the track, or near turn 1-2 for the best action.

👕 What to Wear

Wear clothes you don't mind getting dusty. Dirt tracks live up to their name—especially if you're sitting in the first few rows!

🎧 Ear Protection

Bring ear plugs or noise-canceling headphones, especially for kids. Race cars are LOUD, and a full night of racing can be intense.

💵 Cash is King

Many tracks are cash-only for admission and concessions. Hit the ATM before you go to avoid the on-site fees.

Ready to Feel the Thunder?

Nothing beats the smell of race fuel and the roar of engines on a summer night. Find a track near you and experience it live!
