What you can bring

To make your NASCAR Cup Series weekend as smooth as possible, pack light and focus on the essentials. Bring your phone, a power bank or spare camera batteries, some cash, and the correct ticket for each day. Adults should carry a valid photo ID, and it’s also sensible to have some form of identification for any children travelling with you. Keeping your bag minimal can speed up the security check, helping you enter the venue faster and spend more time watching the action.

Here is the list of items you are allowed to bring to the venue:

• Bags – Up to two bags per person are permitted, provided each does not exceed 18” × 18” × 14.”
• Cameras – Cameras with detachable lenses measuring 5 inches or less are allowed; all camera equipment must fit inside a permitted bag.
• Food and drinks – Factory-sealed, pre-packaged food and beverages are permitted in bags or soft-sided coolers; glass containers are strictly prohibited.
• Plastic water bottles – Plastic bottles are allowed; freezing them before arrival is recommended to keep items cool during the day.
• Seat cushions – Permitted if they are under 18 inches wide and contain no metal parts or components
• Service animals – Only officially certified service animals are permitted in the grandstands.
• Soft-sided coolers – One soft-sided cooler per guest is allowed, with maximum dimensions of 14” × 14” × 14.
