What’s Happening?
One of the NASCAR Cup Series calendar’s staples is Atlanta Motor Speedway and camping in Atlanta is a good time, just like at any other NASCAR Cup Series track. Here is everything to expect from NASCAR’s official camping notebook.
- Atlanta Motor Speedway has been on the NASCAR Cup Series calendar since it opened in 1960. Originally a 1.522-mile true oval, the track has been reconfigured twice to become a 1.54-mile quad-oval (1997) and eventually a superspeedway-style drafting track (2022).
- Atlanta hosts two NASCAR Cup Series races per year. In 2024, they hosted one race in February, with another scheduled for September. In 2025, Atlanta’s summer race will return in June, while the spring date will be announced later.
- Fans love camping at Atlanta Motor Speedway. It’s a historic venue, and the track has something for everyone.

Campground Details
When camping in Atlanta, fans can expect less of an overnight party atmosphere than other tracks. Every campground has “Quiet time” from 12 AM to 7 AM, except the Family Campgrounds, which have them between 10 PM and 7 AM.
Fans also need an admission ticket to enter the campgrounds. Fans camping outside the track can arrive on Thursday of race weekend, while those camping in the infield can arrive on Friday. Both campgrounds close on Monday, so fans can stay for a little while after the race weekend.
