TIPS FOR FANS

The South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is one of the highlights of the NASCAR season, and a little preparation makes the whole weekend more enjoyable. From the lively Fan Zone and live music to autograph sessions and the bustling midway, planning ensures you don’t miss a thing. Whether you’re coming to meet your favorite drivers, watch side-by-side battles on the 1.5-mile tri-oval, or simply soak up the electric Vegas atmosphere, these tips will help you get the most out of your trip.

Meeting the drivers in the infield

For fans who want to get closer to the action, we strongly recommend adding a Pre-Race Pass to your ticket. This upgrade gives you access to the infield, where many of the weekend’s fan activities happen.

Keep an eye on Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s social media channels for last-minute updates, as teams and sponsors sometimes announce surprise sessions or interactive events. And don’t forget to bring something small for autographs – like a hat, program, or die-cast car – to make the process smooth for everyone. A little patience and good manners go a long way on a busy race weekend.

Making the most of race day

Crowds at Las Vegas Motor Speedway are big, but with some strategy, you’ll stay comfortable. Plan food and restroom breaks during quieter parts of the race rather than cautions or restarts, when lines back up quickly. The facility itself is large, so give yourself extra time when moving between grandstands, midway areas, or the Fan Zone.

When choosing seats, think about your viewing style. Sitting closer to the track immerses you in the roar and speed of the cars, while higher rows give you a wide-angle view of the entire tri-oval. Review the seating guide before purchasing so you can find the balance that works best for you.

Most importantly, arrive early, map out your day, and make time for more than just the green flag. The Fan Zone, midway, and driver appearances are all part of what makes a race weekend in Las Vegas unique. With a little planning, the South Point 400 will be an experience you won’t forget.

Neon Garage / Pit Viewing Area Pass

The Neon Garage blends the energy of Las Vegas with the excitement of NASCAR. Inside, fans can enjoy live music and entertainment, watch Victory Lane celebrations, see teams go through tech inspection, and take part in driver Q&A sessions throughout the weekend.

A Neon Garage Pass also provides entry to a NASCAR-approved pit viewing area located just behind the team pit boxes along Pit Road – one of the closest vantage points you can get without a hard card. Guests also benefit from free Wi-Fi all weekend, making it easy to share the experience in real time. Even better, kids 12 and under get in free with a ticketed adult, making it a great family upgrade.
