Hello to all...

I am new to the forum and am really impressed with the messages that I have seen on the boards. It really seems like this is a board of true NASCAR Fans and not just a bunch of belly achers that you find on other boards.

I am going to the Michigan Race this fall and I was wondering if anybody had any ideas on how I might get a garage pass, or passes to some of the sponser events. I have been going for almost 8 years now and every year I walk by the different sponser tents and see these nice parties with access to the drivers and some really good looking food.

If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Jeff,

I've been to MIS in the past, haven't gone in a few years though.

They do not have garage passes at MIS, they have regular pit passes where you can get pit road and in the paddock area, if your lucky you may see a driver or two when they go and get their credentials. The garage is off limits to fans there.

I will tell you that on Thursdays, we used to 'sneak' in the garage area with the pit pass, but they may have gotten better security since then. hehehe ;)

If you want a pit pass, they sell them at one of the gates. You'll see a little building that says Tickets and you can buy your passes there. It's too late to order them through mail right now.

Welcome to the board, Jeff. :wave: :beer: You'll have fun here!
