FANZONE

The Fan Zone at Phoenix Raceway is the beating heart of race-day excitement – the place where fans come together long before the green flag drops. Located just behind the grandstands, it’s packed with activities, food, and entertainment for all ages. You’ll find numerous stands serving local food and drinks, official NASCAR and team merchandise, interactive sponsor displays, live music, and family-friendly attractions. It’s the ideal spot to soak up the electric atmosphere and feel the energy building as the cars prepare to hit the track.

If you want to take your day at the track to another level, upgrade your ticket to include the FanShield Infield Experience. This exclusive access puts you right in the middle of the action – inside the infield of Phoenix Raceway. Step through the famous Tunnel of Triumph, where you’ll walk the same path as NASCAR legends. From there, you can watch crews working live in the Interactive Garages, meet drivers during Red Carpet Introductions, and even witness the post-race celebrations inside Ruoff Mortgage Victory Lane. Fans can also relax in the Busch Light Beer Garden or Portacool Chill Zone, enjoy the Esports Gamer Garage, or visit the Inspection Viewing area for an up-close look at the race cars before they hit the track.

Even without the Infield Experience upgrade, fans have plenty to enjoy in the main Fan Zone area. There are refreshment stands, shaded seating areas, official merchandise shops, and sponsor exhibits offering giveaways and interactive activities. It’s a lively, welcoming environment where every NASCAR fan can feel part of the show – whether you’re watching from the grandstands or exploring the fan village.
