Atlanta Motor Speedway infield camping to open back up for NASCAR races in July
From staff reports
One of the best places to experience NASCAR — inside Atlanta Motor Speedway’s oval as a pack of stock cars rumbles by — will be back open to tent and soft-sided pop-up campers during the July 10-11 Quaker State 400 Presented by Walmart weekend.
The speedway’s High Speed Corral, which sits in the infield inside turns 3 and 4 of the 1.54-mile oval, will welcome tent and pop-up campers in July thanks to continued collaboration between AMS and NASCAR. The reopening of the High Speed Corral will give more fans the opportunity to enjoy race weekend from inside the track while also providing space within the infield for NASCAR industry and staff.
“Tent campers have told us loud and clear they want to be back at the track and we can’t wait to see them in our infield during the races in July,” said AMS executive vice president and general manager Brandon Hutchison.
Along with the newly approved tent and pop-up camping inside the track inside turns 3 and 4, RVs will once again be able to camp within the infield inside turns 1 and 2 as they did in March. In addition to the infield options, AMS has camping available outside the track for tents, pop-ups, and RVs in its exterior campgrounds.
AMS, which will be at full seating capacity for the races, previously announced it is reopening its tent campgrounds outside the track and welcoming tent campers back to the speedway for the July race weekend.
In conjunction with the return of tent and pop-up campers, AMS will also have its exterior restrooms and showerhouses open for the July 10-11 weekend. These camping amenities, previously closed for the March weekend of NASCAR racing, enable the speedway to host tent and pop-up campers while complying with current health and safety guidelines.
The Quaker State 400 Presented by Walmart will be the first NASCAR Cup Series race held at Atlanta Motor Speedway in the month of July since 1974. The 400-mile race on July 11 is the second NASCAR stop at AMS this season.
Accompanying the Quaker State 400 Presented by Walmart is the NASCAR Xfinity Series on Saturday, July 10. The summer race will challenge the rising stars of the sport to stand out and succeed on one of the circuit’s most challenging tracks.
