Thunderbowl Raceway Seating Chart & Seat Views – Best Spots for Racing Action

Your Guide to the Best Seats at Thunderbowl Raceway

Thunderbowl Raceway is a premier dirt track racing venue known for its high-speed thrills and electric atmosphere. Whether you're here for sprint cars, stock cars, or special events, choosing the right seat ensures an unforgettable experience. Here's everything you need to know about the Thunderbowl Raceway seating chart, views, and tips for selecting your perfect spot.

Thunderbowl Raceway Seating Chart Overview

The venue features grandstands with three main sections:

  • Front Stretch (Main Grandstand): Close to the start/finish line, offering unobstructed views of pit stops and victory celebrations. Higher rows avoid dust and debris.
  • Turn 1 & 2 Bleachers: Ideal for witnessing daring passes and tight corners. Slightly angled views may require turning your head.
  • Back Stretch (Limited Seating): Rarely used for fans but offers a unique perspective for photographers or seasoned fans.

Best Seats for Different Events

  • Sprint Cars: Rows 10+ in the Main Grandstand for visibility over winged cars.
  • Stock Car Races: Turn 1 bleachers to see slide jobs and door-to-door action.
  • Family-Friendly: Lower rows near concessions/restrooms (avoid extreme turns).

Seat View Tips & Obstructions

  • Front rows may have dust/fence interference—mid/higher rows recommended.
  • Turn seats offer dynamic angles but require frequent head movement.
  • VIP suites (center Main Grandstand) provide covered seating and premium sightlines.

VIP & Accessibility Options

  • VIP Suites: Climate-controlled with catering and exclusive restrooms.
  • Handicap Access: Designated platforms at the top of Main Grandstand.
  • Budget Tip: General admission (bring a cushion) still delivers great value.

Pro Tip: Check the event schedule—some races invert grids, making Turn 1 the best spot for last-lap drama!
