EchoPark Speedway is inviting fans of all backgrounds to enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at the speedway and a day full of fun activities during its Speedway Open House on Saturday, Jan. 24.
Whether it’s your first visit to EchoPark Speedway or you’re a diehard race fan, there will be plenty to enjoy during the free-to-attend Speedway Open House, which runs from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. As previously announced, defending Autotrader 400 winner Christopher Bell will headline the day’s festivities with a fan Q&A and autograph session—but that’s just scratching the surface of everything attendees can see and do.
Taste of the Fan Zone
A staple of NASCAR weekends at EchoPark Speedway, the expansive Fan Zone will feature a variety of activities and entertainment during the Speedway Open House. Attendees can enjoy attractions typically seen on race day, including axe throwing by American Axes and live music from Montgomery Pike.
Racing simulators will also give fans a chance to virtually turn laps around EchoPark Speedway—and potentially take home a prize if they can log a faster lap than NASCAR star Christopher Bell. All Fan Zone activities are free for attendees.
NASCAR Racing Experience
Race fans and adrenaline seekers can satisfy their need for speed by taking high-speed laps around EchoPark Speedway’s iconic 1.54-mile oval in an authentic stock car through the NASCAR Racing Experience.
During the Speedway Open House, the NASCAR Racing Experience will offer ride-along and driving sessions on the speedway’s high banks. Experiences can be purchased on-site or in advance through the NASCAR Racing Experience website.
Behind-the-Scenes Access
New for 2026, the Speedway Open House moves into the EchoPark Speedway infield. The epicenter of the day’s activities will be the Marcy Scott Media Center, which will host Q&A sessions, the Christopher Bell autograph signing, and more.
Beyond the Marcy Scott Media Center, attendees will be able to explore EchoPark Speedway Victory Lane, tour the NASCAR Cup Series garage area, and view the speedway from pit road.
Don’t Miss the Speedway Open House
The Speedway Open House sets the stage for EchoPark Speedway’s 2026 NASCAR season, with Christopher Bell and the rest of NASCAR’s stars returning to Georgia four weeks later for the Autotrader 400 weekend, Feb. 20–22.
Fans will also have the opportunity to explore seating options and secure the best seats for both the Autotrader 400 weekend and the July 11–12 Quaker State 400 Available at Walmart weekend.
The Speedway Open House is free and open to the public on Saturday, Jan. 24, from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
