Parking At A Glance
Parking difficulty
Parking options (opens in a new tab)Free grass lots with changing race-day traffic gates
- What to do
- Use the official transportation page and all available State Avenue lanes, then follow attendants. Keep any physical paid-lot pass visible and separate from the mobile race ticket.
- Best option
- Free general parking is the default. A paid close-in grass-lot pass is useful only when the physical pass can be obtained before the event.
- Avoid
- Do not park in the Legends shopping area or south of Speedway Boulevard; the official page warns that crossing State Avenue can be delayed or unsafe during race traffic.
