To ensure you make your way to your seats to enjoy the day’s race as quickly as possible, please follow these helpful hints to ease your admission process at the gates:
- Arrive Early: The easiest way to beat the rush into the grandstands is to get there before the crowds do.
- Have Bags/Coolers Ready For Inspection: For your safety and the safety of all of our great race fans, we will be conducting bag and cooler searches upon entry. To speed up this process, make sure you have all pockets of your bag and/or cooler open and ready to be inspected.
- Know Your Entry Time: Your virtual race ticket will have the correct time and gate to enter the grandstands. If you do not see a time on your ticket, you may enter any time once gates are open.
- Familiarize Yourself With Grandstand Policies: Read below for our full list of grandstand policies, which outlines all allowed items, as well as prohibited items, to help you plan ahead for what you can bring into the race.
The Monster Mile allows you to bring your own food and drink into the grandstands with you! We want you to be comfortable and having a blast in our grandstands.
We reserve the right to search and inspect all persons and items entering the facility. This gate admission policy may change prior to each event based upon local, state or national situations. Please contact the Dover Motor Speedway ticket office for the most updated policies.
ATM Machines: Located on the first floor of the Enclosed Grandstand. Please note that a service fee is charged for using the machine.
Concession Stands: Located around the track, featuring selections like hamburgers, hot dogs, Italian sausage, nachos, pizza, soft pretzels, beer, soda and water.
First Aid: To call a paramedic or ambulance: House phone: 3111 Cell phone: 911 Paramedics are on the property all weekend.
If you find something, please turn lost items into a Speedway employee at any gate.

If you're looking to retrieve an item after race weekend, contact the security department at 302-883-6513.
No matter how you get to the Monster Mile, we know that many of you are going to want to set up a spot and tailgate when you arrive … and we fully encourage that! All we ask is that you follow a few simple rules that will help everyone enjoy themselves.
If It Fits, It's Allowed: We ask that you only bring to your tailgate what can fit in your vehicle. This includes items like portable grills, shade tents and other standard tailgating items.
No Vehicle Extensions: To ensure that each fan enjoys their tailgate and space is equally distributed to our patrons, we ask that no extensions (i.e. trailers) be added to vehicles to carry extra items. This allows each customer a right to the space they paid for and helps make sure everyone in the lot is granted equal space to tailgate in.
Safety First: We don’t want you getting hurt if you decide to set up shop in your space and throw a little tailgate … or even a big tailgate. So we ask that you not start any ground fires in your space, and if you decide to erect a flag to give your tailgate some personality, use common sense and make sure you do it at least 100 feet away from telephone and power lines.
Be Neighborly: Tailgating is a community activity, so be courteous to your neighbor. It makes the experience that much more enjoyable for everyone.
Clear Your Area: All tailgating accessories (tents, grills, cooler, etc.) must be removed from all driving lanes before entering the Speedway.
