CAN’T STAND TO MISS OUT?

Our 1000-seat grandstand on the western side of the track is the most popular option for the SPRY Spring Nationals, and is very likely to sell out. With individual bucket seats and shade later in the day, the Grandstand provides great access to food and beverage options, and you can take a stroll down into the pits at any time.

If you can’t stand to miss out, then now is the time to book your spots for the Saturday and Sunday NDRC Grand Final action, with a two day Grandstand pass just $150 per person or $75 for kids.

Book now at
https://www.outix.co/tickets/event/SpringNATS26

For Friday qualifying the grandstands are unreserved, so a General Admission ticket will provide access to this limited capacity area.
