ParkingNot captured yet
  • Race-day traffic is heavy — plan to arrive hours early and expect a slow exit after the checkered flag.
  • Buy or reserve parking in advance where the track offers it; prices and lots vary by event.
  • Ride-share and shuttles can beat parking, but pickup zones get busy after the race.
  • Save your parking spot on your phone map — big lots look alike at night.
