After purchasing advanced ticket can I purchase a pit pass when checking in?
Thanks for asking Philip – we’re not sure if you can upgrade your advanced ticket or not, the facility is being rented for this event.
How do we get tickets in advance
Thanks for asking about advance tickets for the 6/2 All-Star and IRA Sprint Car Race. General Admission is $30 for adults, Kids 7-11 $5, Age 6 and under free. Pit admission is $40. General admission tickets can be purchased at https://www.myracepass.com/series/1012/tickets/1330731
Do all order in advance tickets need to be printed?
We’re not exactly sure because we rented out the facility to an event promoter for this show – although, it’s common practice for electronic tickets to show your phone, printed copy, search by name or number at other venues. As long as you have proof of purchase you should be just fine. Enjoy the Sprint Car Race!
