There is also a lounge area, souvenir stores, art galleries and an informal dining area that you can enjoy. This is an excellent addition to anyone looking for a slightly more upscale version of a race weekend.
Pre-race Pit Access:
The weekend Pit Access Pass is a two day pass good prior to race time on Saturday and Sunday (please note that NASCAR controls the opening and closing of pit road and scheduling may not allow for Saturday pit access) . This pass will give you access to pit road, not the garage area. Please note that NASCAR rules state that you must be 16 years of age and a dress code applies. Generally open-toe shoes, tank or halter tops, short pants and coolers are not allowed on pit road. This is subject to interpretation by the security guards at the access gate. Weather could also be a factor in determining the availability of pit road. (We can not be responsible if for any reason you are not able to take a pit road tour.)Race Shop Tour:
Our Race Shop Tour includes a day of visiting race shops and sightseeing the local areas of interest in the racing rich community on Friday (May 23rd) prior to the Coca-Cola 600. We'll depart by deluxe motorcoach early this morning for visits for the following race shops: Hendrick Motorsports, Roush Racing, Dale Earnhardt Inc., Penske Racing South, Joe Gibbs Racing and JR racing. (Some shops may be substituted depending upon scheduling and availability). We'll stop for lunch (included) at Lancaster's BBQ in Mooresville, one of the most popular restaurants for crew members. This is the perfect way to start your exciting weekend of racing. If you would like to get an up close and in depth view of the Race Shops, what goes on at them and explore the general area, then this option is for you! You never know who you will run into on this tour.Itinerary
