How do I get into the pit and/or garage area for the races?
A Pre-Race Pit Pass is required in order for any fan to enter the pit area. You may purchase a Pre-Race Pit Pass by calling 1-866-408 RACE or by clicking here.
NASCAR controls garage access on their race weekends, meaning Phoenix International Raceway does not sell garage passes. Remember that Pre-Race Pit Pass access depends on the specific event weekend. If you have a pass for NASCAR, Friday and Saturday rules state that all pit area guests must be at least 18 years of age. Shirts and closed-toe shoes are required. Guests must be mindful of security and NASCAR officials while on pit road. For more details and access information, view our Guest Guide.
