Your Ultimate Guide to Hickory Motor Speedway Seating

Hickory Motor Speedway, known as "The Birthplace of the NASCAR Stars," is a historic short track offering thrilling racing action. Choosing the right seat is key to enjoying the high-speed excitement. This guide breaks down the seating chart, views, and tips to help you pick the perfect spot.

Hickory Motor Speedway Seating Chart Overview

  • Grandstand Seats: Located along the front straightaway, these offer unobstructed views of the start/finish line. Higher rows provide better sightlines over safety barriers.
  • Turn 1 & 4 Bleachers: Affordable options with angled views of tight racing action, though distant from pit stops.
  • VIP Towers: Elevated covered seating with premium sightlines, concessions access, and fewer crowds.

Best Seats for Different Events

  • NASCAR Races: Mid-grandstand (Rows 10+) balances visibility of the entire track and pit lane.
  • Weekly Short-Track Races: Turn 1 seats deliver close-up overtaking action.
  • Family Outings: Upper grandstand for easy access to concessions and restrooms.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Lower rows (1-5) may have slight visibility issues due to catch fences. Avoid seats near pillars in older sections. Turn seating offers unique angles but limited views of the front stretch.

VIP & Accessibility Options

  • VIP Suites: Climate-controlled with catering and private restrooms.
  • Accessible Seating: Designated areas at the top of the grandstand with companion seats.

Pro Tips

  • Budget-friendly? Opt for Turn 4 bleachers—still great energy.
  • Bring cushions for metal bleachers and binoculars for detailed views.
  • Check the event schedule—some races have open seating.
