TicketHold | Riverhead Raceway Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats at Riverhead Raceway

Riverhead Raceway, Long Island’s premier NASCAR short track, offers thrilling racing action with an intimate, high-energy atmosphere. Known for its tight quarter-mile oval, the venue provides fans with close-up views of stock car, modified, and demolition derby events. Choosing the right seat ensures an unforgettable experience.

Seating Chart Breakdown

  • Grandstand Seating: The main covered grandstand (Sections A–D) offers elevated views of the entire track. Pros: Unobstructed sightlines, shade coverage. Cons: Can get crowded during peak events.
  • Turn 1 & 2 Bleachers: Open-air seating with thrilling corner action. Pros: Close to pit exits and overtaking zones. Cons: Limited shade and occasional dust/debris.
  • VIP Towers: Elevated platforms near the start/finish line. Pros: Premium sightlines, exclusive amenities. Cons: Higher price point.

Best Seats for Different Events

  • Races: Sections B/C (middle grandstand) for balanced views of straightaways and turns.
  • Demolition Derbies: Front rows near Turn 4 for up-close crash action.
  • Family Outings: Upper grandstand rows (less noise, better overview).

Seat Views & Obstructions

Lower rows (1–5) may have minor visibility issues due to safety fences, while higher rows (6+) provide clearer angles. Avoid extreme ends of grandstands for distorted turn views.

VIP & Accessibility

  • VIP Suites: Include catering, private restrooms, and driver meet-and-greets.
  • Accessibility: Designated wheelchair areas with companion seating in Sections A and D.

Pro Tips

  • Arrive early for general admission seating.
  • Check weather forecasts—bleachers lack cover.
  • Use TicketHold’s interactive map to preview sightlines before booking.
