United Sportscar race at Indy (formally Grand am)
I was looking at going for the full 4 days to the Brickyard weekend in Indy this summer. I mostly want to go because it is the closest sports car track to me since Mid Ohio was removed from the schedule. (And I am a closet NASCAR fan too.) Does anyone have any feedback on this weekend? I am specifically looking to know about fan access. I know that NASCAR does not allow garage access but is there a different paddock for the sports cars? Do they use the garages before NASCAR shows up? I am used to the access to garages and drivers offered at Mid Ohio and became nervous when I did not see paddock tickets for this weekend?
Also, any overall experiences, tips, etc from the Grand Am race or brickyard would be appreciated. I am a racing noob and have only been to Mid Ohio and a NASCAR race (at Pocono) years ago. |

I've never been to Indy, but given that the weekend is shared with NASCAR, I'm guessing that paddock access would probably be limited. Here's some track maps, if that would help:

That was my fear with NASCAR being there but I did stumble on a map from last year and it looked like the two Grand Am paddocks are separate from the NASCAR garages. I am not sure what that means for access but it is a positive sign. I understand that things may change with the new combined series and all but was trying to get as much info as possible. Our other option for a race would be Belle Isle in Detroit and the access for the Sports Cars may make or break the deal.
