TIPS FOR FANS

The Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway ranks among the standout events on the NASCAR calendar, and a bit of forward planning can really elevate the experience. With a buzzing Fan Zone, live music, autograph opportunities, and a packed midway, knowing what to prioritise helps ensure you don’t miss the highlights. Whether your goal is to meet your favourite drivers, watch intense side-by-side racing on the 1.5-mile tri-oval, or simply absorb the unmistakable Las Vegas vibe, these tips will help you make the most of the weekend.

Meeting the drivers in the infield

Fans looking for a closer connection to the action should consider adding a Pre-Race Pass to their ticket. This upgrade grants access to the infield, where many of the weekend’s key fan activities take place and where driver appearances are most common.

It’s also worth following the speedway’s official social media channels, as teams and sponsors occasionally announce last-minute autograph sessions or interactive events. Bring a small item–such as a cap, race programme, or die-cast–for signing, and remember that patience and courtesy make the experience better for everyone during a busy race weekend.

Making the most of race day

Race day crowds are large, but a little strategy goes a long way. Try to plan food and restroom stops during longer green-flag runs rather than during cautions or restarts, when queues grow quickly. The venue covers a wide area, so allow extra time when moving between grandstands, the midway, and the Fan Zone.

When selecting seats, think about how you prefer to watch a race. Lower rows put you right in the middle of the noise and speed, while higher seating offers a broader view of the entire tri-oval. Checking the seating guide in advance can help you strike the right balance.

Above all, arrive early, plan your schedule, and leave room for more than just the race itself. The Fan Zone, midway attractions, and driver appearances are all part of what makes a Las Vegas race weekend special. With a bit of preparation, the Pennzoil 400 can become a truly memorable experience.

Neon Garage / Pit Viewing Area Pass

The Neon Garage combines Las Vegas flair with NASCAR access. Inside the venue, fans can enjoy live entertainment, watch Victory Lane celebrations, see cars go through technical inspection, and attend driver Q&A sessions throughout the weekend.

A Neon Garage Pass also includes entry to a NASCAR-approved pit viewing area located directly behind the team pit boxes on Pit Road–one of the closest viewing spots available without a hard card. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available all weekend, making it easy to share the experience instantly. Families will appreciate that children aged 12 and under receive free entry with a ticketed adult, making this upgrade a strong option for fans of all ages.
