Need to Know
- Best for
- A North Wilkesboro weekend when the exact day and race, reserved lot and entrance, mobile ticket, cooler, bag, pedestrian bridge, and rural post-race route are locked before travel
- Watch out for
- Do not arrive without a parking plan. Official on-site inventory is limited, lot entrances use different roads, and weather can change which grass areas or assistance routes remain usable.
- Good arrival window
- Final May 2027 lot and gate hours are not yet published. Plan an early arrival around the Fan Zone and replace all 2025 or 2026 maps and schedules with the final 2027 event guide.
- Main transit note
- Lots approach from US 421, Fishing Creek Road, Speedway Road, and local connectors. Route to the physical address assigned to the purchased lot, not just the speedway's mailing or map pin.

Parking At A Glance
Parking difficulty
Parking options (opens in a new tab)Limited reserved inventory on rural, lot-specific approaches
- What to do
- Purchase an official lot before race week, save the pass offline, and use its entrance directions. Carpooling reduces both inventory pressure and the number of vehicles on two-lane approaches.
- Best option
- A track-issued reserved lot with a known entrance is the most predictable plan. Lot 5 connects to the venue by pedestrian bridge on current facility maps.
- Avoid
- Do not reuse a prior-year lot route or assume an off-site shuttle will exist. The official 2027 map and weather plan must control the final approach.

Inside the Venue At A Glance
01
MixedParking must be planned before race week
The rural road network and limited on-site inventory make the parking credential the controlling arrival document, not merely an optional convenience.
02
MixedThree races run May 21-23
The Main and Benny Parsons grandstands sit on different sides of the compact oval. Current maps use separate entry gates and a pedestrian bridge for some lots.
03
PositiveBag policy has an event-specific caveat
The official mobile app carries tickets, maps, schedules, and updates. Download the ticket and current map before entering the rural approach where congestion can affect service.
