ENTERING THE SPEEDWAY

Whether you’re visiting Phoenix Raceway for the first time or coming back for another action-packed NASCAR weekend, being prepared will make your race day smoother and more enjoyable. From entry procedures to parking logistics, here’s what you should know before heading to the NASCAR Cup Series race.

Security screening and bags

All bags are subject to inspection at the gates. Before you arrive, it’s a good idea to check Phoenix Raceway’s official list of permitted and prohibited items, which includes rules for food, drinks, and fan accessories. Any item that doesn’t comply with the policy will be confiscated and will not be returned. Bringing banned items may also lead to removal from the venue. For the complete bag policy, click here.

Tickets and admission

A valid ticket is required for entry for all guests. Buying tickets online is the quickest and most convenient option, and purchasing in advance is strongly recommended. Grandstand seating and premium viewing areas often sell out ahead of the NASCAR Cup Series weekend.

Parking choices

Race weekend draws large crowds, and parking areas can fill up quickly. Complimentary general parking is available on-site, though it may involve a longer walk to the gates. For easier access, paid premium parking is offered closer to the entrances. Off-site parking is limited, so always follow posted signs to avoid fines or towing. If you’re staying nearby in the Phoenix area, rideshare services like Uber or Lyft are a stress-free alternative to driving.
