A NASCAR weekend in Ridgeway isn’t only about what happens on the track – the fun begins well before the engines roar to life. From live entertainment to driver meet-and-greets, something is happening from the moment the gates open.
Located outside the track near the Turn 5 Gate, the Fan Zone is the center of off-track excitement. It’s filled with sponsor displays, giveaways, interactive games, and plenty of opportunities to snag free gear. Driver appearances and autograph sessions are scheduled throughout the weekend, giving fans a chance to get closer to their favorite stars.
No visit to Martinsville is complete without a stop at the official merchandise trailers. Browse gear from your favorite drivers and teams – from hats and shirts to die-cast cars and collectibles – and take home something to remember your race weekend.
For fans who want to get closer than ever, the Pre-Race Experience is the ultimate add-on. With this pass, you can:
Redeem your ticket at the ticket office during race weekend or at the Pre-Race Experience check-in. Check-in begins at 8:30 AM on Sunday, with pre-race festivities starting at 11:30 AM (as of 2025).
