TICKETS 2009
APRIL TICKETS

FROM MIKE K. AKA Mad Mikie:If you sit low at TMS, you lose. You can't see over the
wall. You've got to sit at least 12 rows up to see some of the action. If you want to see around the whole track, you've got to go about half way up. The best seats there are right across from pit road and they're all corporate block seats and are mostly empty. Lord I would've given almost anything to be sitting in one of those seats.

Thought you might like to know - TMS is still a dump. They screamed "The Great American Speedway" at me all Friday and Saturday nights, but the johns had no paper towels, the sink faucets only ran for 2 seconds when you pushed them (if they worked at all), the soap dispensers were broken and the hand blowers didn't work. No maintenance on the restrooms whatsoever. Sad.

UPDATE FROM Mona S. Springfield, MO (thanks Mona)
THE PLACE TO GO:  FORT WORTH STOCKYARDS: 
On Friday nights we always go down to the FT Worth Stockyards.   There are great places to eat and always lots of race fans.
(You go thru the stock yards to get to Sundance Square 512 Main St, Fort Worth, TX 76102-3907 Phone: (817)339-7777 where the Chevy Thunder is held) 
This is only about 20-30 min from the track (depending on traffic) when you exit the track from Petty drive, turn Left and follow the road to the Stockyards. (This is also a great back way into the track to avoid the heavy highway traffic.  This is hwy 156, it's a 2 lane road but we have never had any trouble with heavy traffic.  This hwy is East of I-35 and runs parallel to the interstate)

Billy Bob's Texas (worlds largest Honky Tonk) 2520 Rodeo Plz Fort Worth, TX 76106-8208 Phone: (817)589-1711 they always have great concerts going on during race week and often driver appearances.  2 lg dance floors.  If you love country music this is the place.  (Bobby Labonte has been here several times to sign) http://www.billybobstexas.com  (THANKS JAY!)

Cowtown Coliseum 121 E Exchange Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76106-8211Phone: (817)625-1025 (Legendary landmark built in 1908, Live rodeo every weekend yr round.)  I met Mike Wallace there this yr.  Also Jeff Hammond was there.  So the drivers go and hang out.

Stockyards Museum 131 E Exchange Ave Fort Worth, TX 76106-8212 Phone (817)625-5087 and Stockyard Station 140 E Exchange Ave Fort Worth, TX 76106-8203Phone: (817)625-9715

We always eat at Cattlemen's Steak House.  2458 N Main St Fort Worth, TX 76106-8500
Phone: (817)624-3945 (also in the stockyards.) (My mouth is watering just thinking about it)  Great service, GREAT food.  If you don't like beef you won't like it, cause they don't serve a lot of other stuff.  Expect to pay about $20 per person, not including alcohol.   Mike Wallace and crew ate every night here this year.  Cattlemen's was an associate sponsor of his Busch Car.  This was our 5th yr eating there and we have always seen, race teams, crew chiefs or owners, or drivers here.
We waited in line the first yr, with 3 of DEI's big guys, Ty Norris, Don Hawk and another guy I can't remember who it was.  Oh yes, the only down side is we have waited as long as 2 hrs for a table, but we waited with the DEI guys.  Get there early and it's not bad, after 7p and you will wait.

All of the above are within easy walking distance of each other.  We park in a lot and spend the evening there.

TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY PARKING

General Parking - On race days, all general parking is free. VIP Parking may be purchased in advance through the Speedway Main Ticket Office at (817) 215-8500.

Daily VIP Parking Available
Express Parking available

FROM RANDY: Disabled I was a ticket holder for 4 years at Texas Motor Speedway.
I have a manual wheelchair and drive my own car.  I can not walk no matter how much I wish.  In my race experience at Texas was very disappointing.  The wheel chair space that I had was next to a 2nd spot.  The guy that held season tickets as I did was instructed that since he didn't have a disability that he would need to bring a lawn chair as no bench was at the location he purchased.  He didn't care he was close to his friends.
Then all of the spots in the parking lot were taken by the rear view mirror hanging placards.  Seems that if you are handicapped the person would have license plate.
Not all of the handicap seat locations were full at Texas.  I usually parked in the VIP area which is about 10 rows out or close to the end of the paved parking area.
By the time I got to the track entrance I was muddy and worn out physically. Pushing the chair up a sloped parking lot.

Gate openings – Various gates will be open each day for fans to access the facility. The following is the schedule with opening times and gates available that day: Thursday (10:30 a.m., Gate 4), Friday (11 a.m., Gates 1 through 8, 11 and North Tunnel), Saturday (10 a.m., Gates 1 through 8, 11 and North Tunnel), Sunday (9 a.m., all gates open). The South infield tunnel is open 24 hours for pedestrian traffic.

NEW PEDESTRIAN/VEHICLE BRIDGE
The six-month clover-leaf bridge project was recently completed and is expected to greatly improve traffic flow for both pedestrians and fans at the entrance of the South Tunnel. The new setup will alter the traditional traffic paths so please pay attention to the signs and traffic police in the area.

PEDESTRIAN PROMENADE
This promenade, located in front of gates 1-7, is a fan destination featuring rows of race displays, souvenirs and concessions. The area, which is two-thirds of a mile in length, has been widened to 70 feet is now completely closed to any type of non-pedestrian traffic.

NATIONWIDE INSURANCE FAN ASSISTANCE
Nationwide Insurance will again provide special fan trams, but the program has been improved with a designated tram lane and the trams making the complete loop around the inner-ring road. Look for the fan assistance pick-up signs.
FROM RACEMAMA:  I did not see on any of the maps where the tram stops are located.  If it is like Bruton's other tracks they will be well marked.

ATM Machines – Bank of America will have 14 ATM machines at various locations throughout the property. All gates on the frontstretch (1-7), the infield café, Gate 10 on the backstretch and The Speedway Club will all house ATM locations.

Campground busses – Texas Motor Speedway has purchased 11 city-style buses to further accommodate fans who are traveling from the campground areas to the speedway throughout the race weekend. The 40-seat buses will complement the Nationwide Insurance service that assists fans near the parking and inner ring road areas.

The superspeedway Will Call window is located at Gate 4. Only tickets for that day’s event that have been purchased directly through our ticket office or Ticketmaster are available for pick up at Will Call. Prior to event day, tickets may be picked up at the Speedway Main Ticket Office. No outside Will Call may be left at any ticket booth.
