Nobody likes rainy days at the racetrack, and we always give our best effort to fully complete race events.

Our weather policy is as follows: If half or more of the event (half of the total laps) are completed, the event is considered official. Rain checks will not be issued, and the event will not be made up.

If less than half of the event (half of the total laps) are completed, we will issue rain checks (vouchers) for all purchased tickets. We do not issue monetary refunds in the event of a cancelation. For Competitors:

For competitors specifically, if half of the laps of their individual race has been completed, the race is official. If less-than-half of the laps of their individual race has been completed, the race is not completed, and we may adjust future schedules accordingly.

Individuals outside of a race team can purchase pit passes from the booth outside of Turn 2. All individuals buying a pass must be 20 years or older, unless accompanied by a guardian (a minor release form must be filled out for individuals under the age of 20). Please keep in mind the minor release form must be filled out in front of a track representative or official notary.

All individuals entering the infield must sign a waiver and other appropriate documentation.

Refreshments:

Home of the world-famous bologna burgers!

We have many different concessions stands on property with great food and drinks.

Alcohol is served on property for guests 21 and older. We ID everyone purchasing beverages containing alcohol.

Coolers:

Bringing your own cooler is permitted. For the grandstand/general seating areas, we ask that coolers not be over 14 inches. ABSOLUTELY NO GLASS is permitted in any coolers.

Open Areas:

Please respect your fellow guests by smoking in open areas away from others. This includes the grandstands, and lines at the concession stands and ticket booths.

Enclosed Areas:

Smoking is NOT PERMITTED in enclosed areas (suites, restrooms, etc.). When smoking, please move away from buildings and smoke in open areas away from other guests.

Infield:

Smoking is NOT PERMITTED near the fuel area or anywhere fueling is taking place, infield concession stand, or restrooms.

Grandstands:

Our facility offers a main grandstand on the frontstretch and other grandstands in Turn 1 and Turn 4. Fans can bring seat cushions/stadium chairs, but the grandstands do not accommodate lawn chairs.

While most of our events are general admission (meaning you can sit anywhere), some may include reserved grandstand seating.

Bring-Your-Own:

Fans can bring their own fold-out/lawn chair style chairs and sit along Turns 1 and 2 and Turns 3 and 4.

Accessibility:

We have a designated area in Turn 4 for handicap accessible seating, as well as two paved parking lots on either side of our main ticket boots for handicap accessible parking.

See the maps below on this page for more seating information.

South Boston Speedway offers numerous ways to accommodate guests with their ticketing needs.

Advance Ticketing:

Advance ticketing is the most convenient option we offer. You can order online (the best option) or over the phone.

At the Gate:

Tickets are also available for sale at the gate. At the gate tickets are generally a little more expensive than advance tickets and because of the popularity of some events, we cannot always guarantee that tickets will be on sale at the gates.

You can buy tickets online by clicking TICKETS at the top of our website.

Online advance tickets are cheaper than tickets at the track on race day but you are welcome to buy at a ticket booth on property (providing there is availability)

Buying tickets online is easy! Just select what event you want to buy your tickets for, select the number of tickets you need, and then checkout.

When you get to the track, there's no need to wait in line at the ticket booth. Simply have your ticket scanned at the gate and you're ready for race day!

You can also buy tickets in advance over the phone by calling the office at (877) 440-1540. These tickets are treated the same as online tickets, and all you need to do is have your ticket scanned at the gate without waiting at the ticket booth.

If you purchased tickets online and chose the mobile/print-at-home option, you do not have to print your tickets. You can add those tickets directly to your mobile device!

Please note that you cannot use the PDF that is in your ticket confirmation email to scan in at the gates on your mobile device. You must add the actual ticket to your mobile device, as the PDF attachment cannot be scanned.

Note:

If you are unable to add tickets to your mobile device, then you WILL need to print your tickets before heading to the track on race day. If you are unable to print your tickets, contact the office and we will have your tickets printed and waiting for you at the will-call window.
