TICKETS

Q: Can I purchase pit passes?

A: Dover International Speedway does not sell pit passes to the public. Pit passes are reserved for NASCAR-licensed competitors and officials, safety workers, Speedway employees, accredited members of the press and sponsors.

Because we are a one-mile track, with a permanent harness race track (Dover Downs Raceway) inside the motorsports track, we have limited space. Our garages and pit roads are very tight, and there isn't much room for fans to congregate. To allow the crews to do their jobs, NASCAR asks that we limit access to the pits and garage.

We do, however, offer trackside tours through our Sunday "Monster Mile Club." This add-on hospitality package provides food and drink, live entertainment, a limited-edition souvenir, an official race program, interactive games, music and an appearance by a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver. A trackside tour is also part of the package, which can be purchased by clicking here, or by calling 800-441-RACE.

Q: Can I purchase tickets to the Monster Bridge?

A: Tickets for the Monster Bridge are not for sale. Because there are only 56 seats available, the demand for these seats far outweighs the supply. To be fair to everyone, we have decided to not offer the seats for sale to avoid a bidding war. We are, however, working with our sponsors and partners to use seats in the Monster Bridge as prizes for contests and promotions. This way, by winning a contest, giveaway, etc., orchestrated by our sponsors, fans will have the opportunity to watch a race from "the most exciting seat in sports."

Feel free to check the www.DoverSpeedway.com website from time to time for contests and promotions to win seats in the Monster Bridge.

Q: Can I buy tickets anywhere else but Dover International Speedway?

A: Tickets can be purchased in person at the Dover International Speedway ticket office; online at www.DoverSpeedway.com; by phone at 800-441-RACE; or by fax to 302-672-0100. We only recommend purchasing tickets directly from Dover International Speedway. Tickets for our entire race weekend are typically available even on the day of the event through the Dover International Speedway ticket office.

Tickets may also be purchased at participating Shore Stop convenience stores located in Delaware. Tickets available for sale at Shore Stop include adult general admission NASCAR Camping World Truck Series tickets; general admission NASCAR Nationwide Series tickets; and general admission NASCAR Camping World Series tickets. The "Take a Kid to the Races" package is also available for purchase at Shore Stop stores.

Tickets may not be resold for more than their face value. It is the Speedway's policy to cancel all renewal privileges of any purchaser of a ticket found to have been resold at a price greater than face value. You may not resell a ticket at all if you are on property owned, leased or operated by Dover International Speedway or within one hundred (100) yards of such property. If you purchase a ticket that was lost, stolen or counterfeit, the Speedway will not honor it.

Q: What happens if there is a weather delay or postponement?

A: The racing schedules are determined by NASCAR and Dover International Speedway. In the event of a delay or postponement due to severe or unusual weather, all admission tickets will be honored on the rescheduled race day. All ticket sales are final; sorry, no refunds.

Q: Are the ticket prices the same for children?

A: Thursday (May 13 and Sept. 23, 2010) - Children under 12 are $ 3 for general admission. (Admission is free on Thursday of race weekend with the purchase of a Friday race ticket for both adults and children).

Friday (May 14 and Sept. 24, 2010) - Children under 12 are $ 6 for general admission. All children, regardless of age, pay full price for reserved seating.

Saturday (May 15 and Sept. 25, 2010) - Children under 12 are $8 for general admission. All children, regardless of age, pay full price for reserved seating.

Sunday (May 16 and Sept. 26, 2010) - All children, regardless of age, must pay full price to enter the reserved grandstands.

Q: If my child sits on my lap, do they still need a ticket?

A: Yes. Everyone entering through Dover International Speedway's grandstand gates must have a ticket, regardless of age.

Q: Does Dover offer any grandstand seating exclusively for families, free of alcohol and tobacco?

A: The Family Seating Section at Dover International Speedway provides families with an enjoyable alcohol- and tobacco-free environment to experience the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races. For 2010, due to popular demand, the Family Seating Section has been expanded and moved to rows 1-30 in section 192 and 193. This section is located in Turn 2 at the Monster Mile.
