Some of the best seats are located along the front stretch, offering views of the start/finish line and pit lane, where all the high-stakes action happens. The Grandstand near Turn 12 is also a fan favorite. Since this is a temporary circuit in the middle of downtown, seating is more limited compared to traditional ovals, so early booking is key.

Yes, but parking around the circuit is limited due to the downtown location. Several public garages and surface lots in the area will be accessible, though prices and availability vary. It’s strongly recommended to use public transportation or rideshare services if possible. If you plan to drive, consult the official parking map in advance and arrive early to secure a spot.

NASCAR is loud, especially at a street course where the sound bounces off the buildings. Earplugs are not required, but they're highly recommended – especially for children. If you're bringing young fans, proper hearing protection is a must.

The race takes place in early July, so expect warm summer weather. Daytime temperatures usually range from 80°F to 90°F (27°C to 32°C), with moderate humidity. Be prepared for sun exposure – bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. Sudden thunderstorms can occur, so a light rain jacket or poncho is also a smart addition to your race-day gear.
