The pit pass is valid for both grandstand and pit entry. We recommend going to the pit area to watch the Modified pit stops... they're exciting!

  • All season pass holders over 18 are eligible. Season pass holders under 18 will receive grandstand tickets.

  • Pick up your pit pass early during posted Office Hours (above) or on each Race Day at the Main Office.

reserved seating

  • The grandstands are general admission from row 3 to the bottom (row 22.) All grandstand seats are on a first-come-first served basis. Race Teams will not be allowed into the grandstands to reserve seats before the grandstands open.

  • The top 2 rows are "VIP Reserved Top Row." These seats are lined and painted with numbers on them. Generous widths. The VIP Reserved Top Row seats cost $3 over your ticket price and are assigned to you. No one else may sit there for the duration of the event. VIP Reserved Top Row seats are available in all 13 sections of the grandstands (until sold out.)

  • The $3 fee is valid for one race day, not the entire weekend.           A $3 upgrade should be paid for each day you wish to hold that particular seat.

  • Handicap Accessible Seating is available in Sections 5 & 9. Please reserve these seats before race day for your convenience.

         Note: Handicap seating is limited and is available on a first-come                       first-served basis.

Where is the information for Racers & Race Teams?

All of the event information is on a separate page for you, at the top right of this page, or HERE  ---->>

 
What is this? Do I drive a car or do I watch racing?

We put on a thrilling racing show for spectators to enjoy. The race cars are all privately owned. They travel from far and wide to this event!

The drivers and their mechanics/race teams come here to compete in very exciting races to win cash and trophies.

Check out the event schedule to see who is racing and when!

Come to the speedway before the main event, get a good seat, great food, sit back & enjoy the show!

You have been warned... short track racing can be very addicting!!

Is it going to rain out?

The short answer is no. There could possibly be a short rain delay if we have to dry the track.

Sunday has been reserved in case we need to reschedule any races for bad weather Friday or Saturday.

In that case, your ticket will be valid Sunday to watch the rest of the show.

 

 

How much is parking?

All parking is FREE.

Do you have Handicapped parking?

Yes, we have 28 Handicap Parking Spaces, available on a first-come-first-served basis.

If all the spots are full when you arrive, consider dropping off the handicapped person at the Main Entrance and have an able bodied person go park the car. We have chairs available for the person who is dropped off to sit and wait.

 

 

What time should I get there?

We suggest you come a bit before the Feature Races which start at 2:00 pm. Allow yourself time to buy tickets, come in and find a seat before the National Anthem and the show begins!

 

 

Would my kids enjoy this?

Absolutely! We are a very family friendly venue. Lots of kids come to enjoy the races! We supply free earplugs and we also sell earmuffs to help with the noise. Some cars are louder than others.

We strongly recommend bringing children to the Demolition Derby on Saturday, November 23 at 3:00 pm!

Get them a checkered flag at the souvenir shop that they can wave around and really enjoy the experience!

Do you sell alcohol?

No, we do not have a liquor license to sell alcohol. However, you may bring alcoholic beverages IN THE GRANDSTANDS, as long as they are consumed responsibly!

NO GLASS ALLOWED. We reserve the right to remove any intoxicated person acting disorderly in order to protect our fans and children.

NO ALCOHOL OR DRUG USE IN THE PIT AREA. 

***Absolutely NO alcohol or open containers are allowed in the Pit Area during events per NJ State LAW.***

Any person caught with alcoholic beverages and/or an open container or using drugs in the pit area will be immediately escorted out by Security.

No refund.

Had a little too much fun and can't drive home? Find a staff member or a Security guard. We will call you an Uber. Do not drink and drive!
 



Do you sell food?
YES! Many say we have THE BEST track food in the Tristate Area.

We have concession stands open to meet all your cravings! Here are just a few: Footlongs, cheeseburgers, sausage pepper & onion sandwiches, premium chicken tenders, cheese fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, Impossible Burgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, homemade hot soup and chili, grilled cheese, BBQ pulled pork, breakfast sandwiches (all day!) featuring the famous New Jersey Pork Roll... we are sure to have something you will enjoy!

Save room for a funnel cake, cotton candy, churros and ice cream!

Are you Vegan, Gluten Free, Keto or just want to eat on the healthier side? We have menu options for you. Ask us!



Can I bring a cooler? 
Yes, any size coolers are allowed in the stadium for all events. You can bring food, snacks, drinks and alcoholic beverages.

The only restriction is NO GLASS containers.

If you bring glass instead of cans, you may pour it into a cup and walk in the entrance with it, but the glass stays outside the venue.

Can I pay with a credit card?

Yes, feel free to use a credit or debit card to buy admission tickets, pit passes, food, souvenirs, etc. We do recommend bringing some cash for our funnel cake truck or if you want to tip our excellent staff!

We do not accept personal checks or Apple Pay.

How can I get tickets?

You can buy tickets online at our ticket store above. Print them out and bring them with you or show the QR code on your phone for easy entry.

Proceed straight to the gate on Race Day and skip the lines.

You can also buy tickets at the Speedway on race day.

We accept cash or credit, no personal checks, no Apple Pay.

Pit passes can be pre-purchased at the Speedway at both of the 2 practice sessions (Nov 23 & 24.)

They can also be purchased on race day starting at 6:30 am until we reach capacity and sell out.

Can I leave and come back?

Yes, upon leaving the grandstands, tell a guard you're coming back. We'll give you a re-entry ticket for convenience.

Anyone already wearing a pit pass wristband can come and go with ease.

 

Do you sell souvenirs?
Yes! Our famous and highly anticipated Turkey Derby sweatshirts will be available for purchase starting at the Demolition Derby Nov. 23 and during Turkey Derby Nov. 29-30 until supply runs out.

Check out the white gazebo next to the front entrance for other souvenirs like tee shirts, sweatshirts, hats, checkered flags, toy cars and more! Look for Enter-To-Win Giveaways or the famous "Guess How Many" candy game!

Do I have to be working on a race car to go into the Pit Area?

No, anyone over age 14 can get a pit pass!

The pit pass grants you access to both the pit area AND the grandstands. You do not have to purchase a grandstand ticket separately.

Turkey Derby is an excellent time for fans to go into the pit area and see all the race teams and equipment and watch LIVE pit stops!

You'll get a behind-the-scenes experience. Very exciting!

Can I take pictures and videos of the races?
Yes you can. Feel free to take cell phone pics and vids and post them on your social media. Don't forget to tag us!
