PARKING

Bristol Motor Speedway provides several parking possibilities for race visitors, ranging from free public areas to premium paid lots located very close to the circuit. Free parking can be a good option for those arriving early, but paid parking is usually the more practical choice thanks to shorter walking distances and easier access during busy NASCAR weekends.

Free parking

Free parking is commonly available at Whitetop Creek Park and in some areas along Highway 394. These spots tend to fill quickly on race days, so early arrival is recommended.

There is also a limited number of spaces reserved for Toyota and Lexus vehicles in specific lots. These spaces are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Keep in mind that free parking areas may require a longer walk to the speedway or the use of shuttle transport.

Paid parking

For visitors looking for a more convenient experience, several official paid parking areas are available close to the venue:

Speedway Parking – approx. $40 for two days (online purchase)

Situated directly opposite Bristol Motor Speedway and the Dragway, this parking area provides easy access with only a short walk to the entrance gates.

North Premium Parking – approx. $150 for two days (online purchase)

This lot is located closest to the speedway and offers the simplest access to the venue. It is a popular option for fans who prefer minimal walking and a smoother arrival and departure on race day.

Because traffic around the circuit increases significantly during major events, it is advisable to arrive early. Before travelling, review your parking pass for details such as opening hours, designated entrances, and any applicable restrictions.
