Fast Facts
Grandstand seating on the event grounds are categorized by two tiers: Upper and Lower rows.
Did You Know?
The most desirable seats in auto racing are typically the ones located HIGHEST up in the grandstands. Upper row seats allow for the best perspective and longest view of the race track.
Reserved Grandstand Seating
The Front stretch: Pit Lane Grandstands 3 through 7
There’s a lot to see from these seats! These grandstands extend all the way from the Pit entrance (Grandstand 3) to the Pit exit (Grandstand 7), and if you’re in Grandstand 4, right in front is the Start/Finish line. Watch the incredibly quick pit stops from above and get a clear view of Turn 14 to Turn 1. Make sure to wear sunscreen! This is one of the sunniest spots at the track.
