- A-side grandstands is the family side grandstands, No alcoholic beverages permitted on A-side. However alcohol IS permitted on B-side grandstands and in Tier Parking. Kingsport Speedway does not sell adult beverages at concessions, so you will have to bring your own

- Lawn chairs, cushions, stadium chairs and other such seating items are allowed at Kingsport Speedway, as both A and B side grandstands are concrete, we encourage bringing something comfortable to sit on. (NOTE** Special or touring events: such as Tour of Destruction have different stadium seating rules than the Speedway that they enforce, if a series' rules differ from ours - we will post their website to the home page a few weeks prior to the event)

-Kingsport Speedway primarily runs in the summer months; as most people reading this page already know. East Tennessee summers can get very hot and very humid! Bring water to stay hydrated (refreshments always available at concession stands) and wear sunscreen for day races, or if you plan to arrive early for practice/qualifying.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

So, you've piled into your car, or your truck in trailer with race car in tow, now what? What should you expect as you arrive at the Concrete Jungle?

Once you get to the track. Fans can head to the press box/tower to purchase tickets or tier parking if available. Drivers and teams can make their down to pit sign in located outside Turn 1 (Facility Map below this section!!!!)sign in and pay, grab a wristband, a transponder and get ready to race!

For fans, expect an electric and vibrant atmosphere with some of the best racing action you can find in the entire region!! (Ea. TN/Sw. VA/W NC) High stakes, high drama, huge personalities giving their all every single lap. An excellent team who are more than happy to help and answer any questions you may have. One of the most gorgeous views in short track racing. And hopefully, a racing family and race day experience you'll want to return to again and again.

For drivers, it's well documented the challenge that awaits anyone racing at the Concrete Jungle. If you're able to conquer the roughly 3/8 to 4/10mi. oval. You can win nearly anywhere in the country. And you can cement yourself as short track racing legend. You'll be a part of one of the most passionate and competitive pit areas you can find; but also a pit area that is welcoming and willing to help rookies and newcomers get up to speed. You'll also be racing with one of the best race control teams, tech teams, and safety teams in all of NASCAR Weekly Racing. We hope all of these things combined not only provide the ultimate challenge for drivers, but an experience and race day process you want to come back to.

We hope that at the end of your first visit, you find that Kingsport Speedway is a track and event you want to be a part of; fan or driver.

Almost all of the restaurants on this list are local businesses or small chains to support and show love. However, we did provide the nearest Waffle House location in case the other shops were closed, or for those late PM/early AM endeavors.
