The parking product determines the final approach. The live Smart Map, pass directions, and Waze entry are more useful than a generic map pin once traffic control begins.

Need to Know
- Best for
- A Phoenix race weekend when the free or reserved lot, Waze entry, mobile ticket, bag and cooler sizes, desert-weather kit, and infield-access product are confirmed before leaving I-10
- Watch out for
- A FanShield Infield Experience pass does not replace the daily admission ticket. Parking-pass holders must use the route printed with that pass, while guests without one follow signs to free general parking.
- Good arrival window
- Final 2027 lot and gate hours are not yet published. Arrive early for I-10 traffic, walking, screening, and the accessible lots that can fill first-come; replace current operating details with the event-specific 2027 guide.
- Main transit note
- Phoenix Raceway is primarily a driving destination south of I-10. Current Waze links separate general-parking Entries J, K, and L from rideshare, premium, El Mirage, ADA, suite, motorcycle, and hospitality approaches.

Parking At A Glance
Parking difficulty
Parking options (opens in a new tab)Free general parking plus route-specific reserved, ADA, rideshare, and hospitality entries
- What to do
- If no parking pass is attached to the account, follow event signs from I-10 to free general parking. If a digital pass exists, save it offline and use only the entry and map assigned to that product.
- Best option
- Free general parking is the default. Premium parking is closest to Gates 4 and 5, El Mirage is closest to the ticket gates, and reserved accessible parking requires both its digital pass and a valid placard or plate.
- Avoid
- Do not route every product to the main venue pin or borrow a route from a prior weekend. General, El Mirage, ADA, premium, suite, motorcycle, hospitality, and camping traffic use different entries.

MixedOne soft cooler may enter
Grandstand admission, hillside areas, suites, hospitality, and FanShield Infield Experience are separate products. Confirm the base ticket and every add-on in the mobile wallet before travel.
03
PositiveInfield access needs admission too
A parking tram currently runs between Cotton Lane and Blue 6, while a separate shuttle serves the campground route. Peak delays and 2027 service details require an event-weekend recheck.
