What to Wear:

Casual attire is the word at the Speedway. Just remember you are outdoors, so dress accordingly and don’t forget the sunscreen. Closed toed shoes and long pants are recommended in the pit area; shirts must be worn at all times regardless of whether you’re in the pit area or the grandstands. The races can get loud so if you have sensitive hearing, ear plugs or ear muffs may be the ticket for you. We sell both products at the souvenir stand at a minimal cost.

Coolers:

No coolers allowed.

Numerous Porta-Johns are located throughout the venue.

Main Concession Stand:

Located directly to your right as you enter the main Speedway grandstand entrance. Whether you need an ice cold soda or a complete meal of a hot dog, hamburger or Vern’s special Tenderloin sandich, you will find the best food in the short track racing business right here. Our food is good and it’s affordable for the entire family!

Beer Garden:

Located to your right across from the main concessions and also on the backstretch, find your adult beverages at the Beer Garden. Be ready to show your ID; we card and record every purchase. .
