PARKING

Technology Raceway provides several parking options, with most being paid and conveniently located near the venue. While some free parking areas are available, they may require a longer walk or shuttle ride. Here’s an overview to help you choose the best option for your visit, along with tips to make your arrival smoother.

Paid parking options

To get the most out of your visit, consider one of the Raceway’s official paid parking options. These are well-organized, positioned closer to the venue, and open early on race days. While prices may vary by event, the convenience often makes it worth the cost.

Some of the main paid parking zones include:

• Red Reserved Parking – Closest to the venue, with quick access to entry gates. Ideal for those wanting a short walk. Entry point here. 
• ADA Parking – Reserved for guests with limited mobility. Requires appropriate passes. Entry point here. 
• Gold VIP / Preferred ADA Parking – Premium access and the best for guests with limited mobility. Requires appropriate passes. Entry point here. 
• Orange General Parking – A balanced option for those seeking affordability without being too far from the gates. Entry point here. 
• Tailgate Parking – Great for fans looking to set up early and enjoy the pre-race atmosphere, accessible via Collinsville Road. Entry point here.

All lots open early–usually 10:00 AM on Saturdays and 7:30 AM on Sundays–and fill up fast, so arriving ahead of time is strongly advised. Parking options start at $20.00 per day.

Free parking options

There is some free parking available during select events, but it comes with important trade-offs. These areas are typically far from the track and not recommended for most racegoers. To reach the venue, fans using free parking often need to walk a considerable distance or take a shuttle, which can lead to delays and inconvenience, especially at peak times.

A common workaround is to park at a MetroLink station, such as Fairview Heights, and take public transport or a shuttle to the track. While this might reduce costs, it also adds travel time and isn’t always the most efficient solution, especially if you're carrying items like coolers or folding chairs.

In short, free parking is available, but not ideal unless you're prepared for extra logistics.
