Fan Tips

Bristol Motor Speedway delivers one of the most intense racing environments in motorsports, with a high-banked short track known for close-quarters action.

Located in Bristol, Tennessee, the venue is primarily accessed by car and rideshare.

The stadium-style seating surrounds the track, providing a clear view of the entire circuit from most sections.

Concessions include traditional options throughout the venue.

The enclosed design amplifies sound, creating a loud and electric atmosphere throughout the race.

Security Screenings

Like almost all US and Canadian Stadiums, you will need to enter through a metal detector before entering the stadium.  Be sure to give yourself extra time and don't bring any weapons or devices that could be seen as a weapon inside.  Pat down searches may be required.

Bag Policy

One soft-sided bag OR hard or soft-sided cooler no larger than 14"may be brought into the track.  All bags subject to search before entry.
