Festival Preparation Tips
Part of festival preparation is knowing your way around. Gear up for a safe and enjoyable experience and take note of emergency exits, water stations, medical tents, and restrooms.
Stay Hydrated
- Drink water throughout the day. Staying hydrated is key especially during the warm summer months.
- Empty plastic water bottles and hydration packs are permitted on the race grounds.
- Be sure to re-fill your plastic water bottle often at the hydration stations located throughout the park.
Wear Sunscreen
- Safely soak up the sun. Apply and re-apply sunscreen throughout the day.
- Attendees are permitted to bring sunscreen in non-aerosol containers in the size of 3.4 ounces or less.
Bring Essential Medications
- Don’t forget to bring your medications to the festival to ensure a fun and safe experience. See NASCAR’s prescription medicine requirements below.

- Patrons are only allowed a sufficient supply of the prescribed medication for that day.
- Over the counter medications are allowed in a sufficient supply for the day.
