AAA Texas 500 Tickets

The AAA Texas 500 is an annual race in the NASCAR Cup Series held in Fort Worth, Texas. Drivers take to the track at the Texas Motor Speedway to prove their skills against one another. First known as the Dickies 500, it was acquired as part of a lawsuit NASCAR settled back in 2004. One of the few NASCAR races that’s held later in the day, one charming aspect to the race is that it frequently goes into the night while not being considered a night race. Ever since 2005, the AAA Texas 500 has become one of the truly iconic races of NASCAR. The winners celebrate by firing six-shooters into the air and lofting the cowboy hat-shaped trophy they receive. The fan experience is always full of excitement at the AAA Texas 500. Whether you're a fan of racing in general or you remember it from the comedy film Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, anyone who appreciates the sport of racing should pick up tickets to this year's race at StubHub.

Is tailgating allowed during the AAA Texas 500?

Tailgating is a timeless tradition out at the Texas Motor Speedway and the day of the AAA Texas 500 is no exception. Tailgating tends to be mostly concentrated in the three main parking areas, those being the campgrounds, the free lots and the Pacesetter Pit Stop Park. All three of these areas are great opportunities to mingle with other fans, though the Pit Stop Park is closest to the track and features conveniences such as restrooms and a horseshoe pit for help enhancing the fun.Back to Top
