For the Saturday show, patrons can purchase a Total Access Pass that includes one ticket in the best seats in the house, and exclusive access to drivers with a private meet and greet from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Total Access Passes are available for $76.50. (Tickets are $2 more on show day.)
The Party in the Pits on Sunday, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m., gives fans the opportunity to get a view of the trucks up close and to meet the drivers.
