FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When should I arrive for the race?
The time you choose to arrive depends on the size of the event. If you’re not worried about where to sit, for a typical Friday evening you would probably want to arrive at least 30-45 minutes before the green flag flies to get settled in, have a look at the displays and check out the concession stand and souvenir booth. For larger special events an earlier arrival may be recommended.

Where should I sit?
Anywhere you like! Delaware Speedway has both grandstands and plenty of grass lawn chair seating. There is also a fully licensed beer patio with railings and standing room. Reserved seating is also available by contacting the speedway office.

Is there camping available?
Yes, there is free, unserviced camping located behind the back straightaway for your convenience.  Campers can be found there on most race nights, but especially on two-day or 3-day race weekends.  Bring the camper and do some bench racing this weekend!

Can I bring my cooler?
Yes, but we ask that there be no glass bottles or alcohol. Coolers and bags may be searched before entering the track.

What about pets?
Sorry, absolutely no pets are allowed inside the race track.  The only exception to this rule is for service animals.

Is there anything else I should bring?
Some things that might make your stay more enjoyable - binoculars, sunglasses, baseball hat, portable radio (88.1 FM is the track radio feed). On sunny afternoons be sure to bring some sunscreen and something to keep hydrated.

What if it rains?
See the 2008 Delaware Speedway schedule for the weather policy.

Is Delaware Speedway wheelchair accessible?
Yes, there are accessible parking spaces at the top of the hill by the front gate, and designated open space above the main grandstand. Companions should bring a lawn chair to use this space. Washrooms are also accessible.  It is also worth noting that the entire upper level of the facility (spectator hill) is easily accessible and provides a great variety of possible views.

Are there any group ticket discounts?
Group ticket discounts are available for groups of 20 or more. Contact the speedway, or e-mail info@delawarespeedway.com for more information.

Is there a way to have an announcement read over the P.A.?
Yes. Announcements can be put in the announcement box at the base of the tower. As well, you can pre-submit an announcement at info@delawarespeedway.com.

Are there videos available of the racing?
Yes. Order forms are available at the souvenir booth or e-mail video@delawarespeedway.com.
