NASCAR venues are slowly but steadily opening their doors to fans again. The Talladega Superspeedway joined some other venues to allow fans to attend the Cup Series playoff race in October.

Phoenix announced that they will have fans in a ‘limited capacity’ for each of the three championship races. The 42,000-capacity stadium will allow about 20% capacity, that comes up to 8,400 fans. The track will host the Truck Series championship race on Friday, November 6. The Xfinity Series race follows on Saturday, with the Cup Series finale on Sunday, November 8.

And we are excited that we can still share this NASCAR Championship Weekend experience with many in a safe environment,” said Julie Giese, President of Phoenix Raceway.
Fans with access to the ‘Infield Experience’ cannot avail it now and will be refunded. Infield access is open only for NASCAR officials, essential members on team rosters, and broadcast officials.
