From 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, fans will get a rare early look at racing action as five teams—three from the Cup Series and two from the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series—put their cars through tire testing ahead of NASCAR’s official return to the venue.
The event is free and open to the public, offering fans a chance to enjoy on-track activity along with light entertainment between runs. Attendees can also take part in family-friendly activities and giveaways throughout the day.
