Fast Facts

The Front stretch: Pit Lane Grandstands 3 through 7
There’s a lot to see from these seats! These grandstands extend all the way from the Pit entrance (Grandstand 3) to the Pit exit (Grandstand 7), and if you’re in Grandstand 4, right in front is the Start/Finish line. Watch the incredibly quick pit stops from above and get a clear view of Turn 14 to Turn 1. Make sure to wear sunscreen! This is one of the sunniest spots at the track.
