MAP OF THE GRANDSTANDS

North Wilkesboro Speedway offers a compact but atmospheric seating layout that reflects the track’s short-oval character. Almost every stand is close to the racing surface, giving fans an authentic, old-school view of the action.

Main Grandstand (Start/Finish Straight)

The Main Grandstand runs along the frontstretch and offers the most central viewing experience at North Wilkesboro. Fans here sit opposite pit road with a direct view of pit stops, restarts, the start/finish line, and most on-track activity. Sections A–P span the full length of the straight, with seating rising up to Row 18. This is the most balanced option for following race strategy and on-track battles, making it the traditional choice for first-time visitors.

Benny Parsons Grandstand (Turns 1–2)

Located on the lower right-hand side of the map, this grandstand wraps around Turns 1 and 2. Sections AA–NN follow the natural curve of the corner and provide close-up action as cars dive into Turn 1 and transition uphill onto the backstretch. Sightlines here are excellent for watching race starts, opening-lap traffic, and overtaking attempts into Turn 1. Fans who enjoy high-intensity short-track sequences typically choose this area.

Junior Johnson Grandstand (Turns 3–4)

Positioned on the opposite end of the oval, the Junior Johnson Grandstand overlooks the braking zone and middle of Turns 3 and 4. This is one of the best spots for watching drivers manage tyres, navigate traffic, and set up passes before the run back toward the frontstretch. The seating block is compact, offering a more intimate feel and a clear view of the corner entry and exit. Ideal for fans who enjoy technical driving and close racing in the heavier braking zone.

Infield standing viewing area

This viewing area is located inside Turns 3 and 4. Fans watch from the infield at ground level, placing them exceptionally close to the cars as they sweep through the corner. While views are limited compared with elevated grandstands, the proximity to the racing surface delivers a very immersive short-track experience.
