PIT PASS UPGRADES

 

A Pit Pass Upgrade is the process of adding a pit pass to a previously purchased ticket. This can be done for any and all of the September 10 – 12 event days.

All ADULT pit pass upgrades must be performed at the Upgrade Station located outside of turn 4, near Gate 3. You must have a valid ticket for each day you want to upgrade (meaning if you come on Thursday and want to upgrade to a 3-day pit pass, you will need your Thursday, Friday, & Saturday ticket in hand to do so).

The Upgrade Station will be open Thursday – Saturday: 11:00am – Feature Event

Minimum age in the pit area is 14. Ages 14-17 require parental consent waivers to be signed.

Pit pass upgrade prices:
Thursday only: $10
Friday only: $10
Saturday only: $15
3-Day (Thurs/Fri/Sat): $35
2-Day (Fri/Sat): $25

When upgrading a reserved seat ticket – you still retain the reserved seat location.

Regular full price pit passes are available at any ticket window around the track.

MINOR PIT PASSES:

All MINOR pit passes and MINOR pit pass upgrades must be processed at Gate 4. Minor waivers will not be accepted at any other ticket office or ticket window on property.


GA SEATING

 

Important Notes for:

  • Dream week events
  • Kings Royal week events
  • World 100 week events

We want GA seating to remain fun, fair, and enjoyable for everyone. Please take a moment to review the updates below for the 2026 season.

GA Bleacher Seating:

  • General Admission bleacher seating will include rows 1–5 in all South Bleacher sections (SA–SR).
  • Previously, GA bleacher areas for major events consisted of the last three bleachers – sections SJ-SR
GA Grass Hillsides:
  • To ensure fair access and maximize seating space for all fans, grass hillside seating will now be defined by the chairs you place, rather than tape, rope, or other space-saving methods.
What this means for fans:
  • All chairs or seating for your group must be placed at the same time
  • Rope, caution tape, or marking off extra space is no longer permitted
This change helps prevent large areas from being held for small groups and allows more fans to enjoy the hillside seating experience. The grass hillsides will continue to open at a predetermined time prior to each event, just as they have in the past. Specific opening times and detailed instructions will be shared prior to each event week.


OFF-TRACK ENTERTAINMENT

 

Ms. Eldora Busch Light Silo Photo Op

 

Join the Eldora girls, Abby & Savanna, on Saturday from 1:00pm – 1:30pm in front of the Busch Light Silo for a meet & greet, autographs, and photos! Be sure to share your pictures with us on social media!

Bear Hollow Wood Carvers

Check out the Bear Hollow Wood Carvers outside of Turn 4 Thursday – Saturday beginning at 10:00 AM. They will be auctioning off their carvings at 4:00 PM on Friday and Saturday. Proceeds benefit the Eldora Speedway Foundation.

Cell Phone Light Show

We’re taking the 4-wide cell phone flashlight idea to a new level! Open the Cue Live app on your cell phone just before the 4-wide each night to participate in a spectacular light show. Your phone’s flashlight and screen will synchronize with the music and big screen! Download the app ahead of time to be ready to rock and roll!

iPhone App

Android App


POST-RACE TRAFFIC

 

Everyone arrives at different times throughout the week but most leave at the same time after the race. As such, parking lots and roadways can be congested. To help alleviate congestion, local authorities will be initiating a post-race traffic pattern that will get the lots emptied quicker.

Please look at the map below (click it for a printable version). Each lot will exit in a specific direction. If you find yourself going in the opposite direction that you need to be going, check out a local map of the area roads. Many roads and highways in this area are square mile blocks so getting yourself pointed in the right direction should be a breeze.
