All spectators park FREE at Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Motor Speedway events in the large, mostly flat grass field outside our facility. Please Note: Leased events on speedway grounds may choose to charge for parking. PPMS DOES NOT collect any monetary value from those events. Light tailgating and casual gatherings before and after events are generally allowed, but we reserve the right to ask you to disperse if issues arise.

We strongly recommend rolling up your windows completely and closing convertible tops before races start. Motorcycle riders should bring a kickstand pad and may wish to bring a cover.

All of our seating is wooden, open, bleacher-style grandstands. You may wish to bring a towel, blanket, seat cushion, or stadium seat for comfort. Patrons may choose to utilize our Drive In Parking area by turn one. This comes at an additional cost to your admission ticket(s) and space is limited.

Much of our facility can be accessed by people with mobility impairments. The first row of our main grandstands is accessible by ramp. Wheelchair users or persons unable to climb stairs may also choose to sit in front of the grandstands or in our lawn chair seating area near Turn 1. In some cases, persons with disabilities may also be allowed to park their cars in this area. Our restrooms, concession stand, gift shop, and Real Nutz Vodka Club are all located at ground level. Most walkways consist of hard dirt, thinly layered pea gravel, grass, or a mixture of these elements.

For persons sensitive to loud noises, we strongly recommend wearing earplugs or safety ear muffs. These items, alongside protective eye wear, are available for sale at our gift shop as supplies last.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or requests for additional accommodations.
