Please be prepared to show identification when you pick up the passes.
Only those who have submitted written requests will receive credentials.
Parking for media
Special arrangements have been made for marked television vehicles — particularly live satellite trucks — to use the parking lot of This parking will provide easy access to the facility for live news broadcasts. Please pick up this pass with your credentials before race day.
All other media will need to use public parking lots across from Bill Armstrong Stadium on Fee Lane. There is no charge for parking.
Photography
Media credentials will provide photographers with extensive access to the track, including the infield. For their safety and the safety of those participating, all infield spectators, including the media, will need to stay within the safety line 10 feet in from the edge of the track, except during the photo lap as guided by track officials.
Photographers and reporters will not be permitted to cross the track during the race to enter or exit the infield, until the conclusion of the event. No one will be given access to scaffolding and towers.
