Seating Recommendations and Charts

Carolina Motorsports Park is a general-admission motorsports venue without fixed grandstands, so there’s no set seating capacity — instead, you’ll find open spectator areas, paddock access, and designated viewing zones around the course.

• Paddock Area: Close to the heart of the action with views of garages and grid activity — great for watching teams work and catching cars before they head out.
• Corners with Elevation Changes: Spectator-favorite viewpoints where you can watch drivers navigate technical sequences and see more of the track at once.
• Designated Spectator Zones: Marked areas along high-action parts of the course for safe, clear sightlines as cars brake, turn, and accelerate away.
• VIP Hospitality Tents (major events): When available, these offer shaded comfort, curated vantage points, and easy access to amenities.
• Camping/RV Areas: For multi-day events, campground perches can deliver relaxed views and quick access to both racing and festival activities.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Carolina Motorsports Park

3662 Kershaw Hwy

Kershaw, SC 29067

Located in Kershaw, the park sits roughly 60 miles south of Charlotte, North Carolina — about 1 hour and 15 minutes by car — making it an easy road trip for regional fans and clubs.

• Parking: On-site parking is available and typically included with event admission; RV and camping parking are offered for multi-day events.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options available.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare is possible but limited due to the rural location; designated pickup zones aren’t formally marked.

Arrival Recommendations

Arrive 60–90 minutes before the start of your event to secure convenient parking, get oriented, and explore the paddock or vendor areas. For major race weekends and festivals like GRIDLIFE South Carolina, earlier arrival helps you avoid queues and gives you more time to find your favorite viewing spot.

This is an outdoor venue, and events are held rain or shine. In the summer months, expect hot, humid conditions — pack sun protection, hydrate regularly, and consider lightweight layers. If the forecast calls for showers, bring a rain jacket to stay comfortable while you roam between viewing zones and the paddock.

Plan for some walking between parking, paddock spaces, and designated spectator areas. The terrain is mostly flat but spread out, so comfortable footwear makes a big difference over a full day. Because cell service can be limited during large events, download your tickets in advance and coordinate meeting points with your group before you arrive.

Venue Navigation

The facility layout is designed around the 2.27-mile road course, with paddock areas and garages serving as the hub for team activity, vendor spaces, and event operations. You’ll find open spectator zones along popular corners and straights — many with elevated vantage points for wider views of the action.

Concessions and food trucks are available during major events, alongside restrooms and showers for multi-day stays. Look for event and track merchandise at select race weekends and festivals. For convenience, ATMs are typically available during larger gatherings. Expect to walk throughout the day as you move between your favorite corners, the paddock, hospitality tents (when offered), and camping areas — comfortable shoes are recommended.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: No formal restrictions listed; subject to event-specific rules (a clear bag policy may apply for major events).
• Prohibited Items: Firearms, fireworks, drones, glass containers, outside alcohol (unless specified for camping areas), illegal substances.
• Re-entry Policy: Generally allowed with an event wristband or pass; check your event’s specific policy.
• Service Animals: Permitted in accordance with ADA guidelines.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Pack sun protection and stay hydrated during summer events; racing days can be long and sunny.
• If you’re camping, arrive early to choose a convenient spot near your preferred viewing area or paddock access.

Pre-Event Planning

Browse the Carolina Motorsports Park schedule to decide which style of event fits your vibe — from SCCA and NASA competition to ChampCar endurance racing and the festival energy of GRIDLIFE South Carolina. Multi-day events reward early planners: book camping, review the on-site amenities, and set a simple game plan for your group.

Once on-site, scout elevated corners and panoramic viewpoints to catch more of the action as cars thread through the track’s technical sequences. Sunsets over the facility can be especially scenic — an ideal time to grab photos from your favorite vantage point or the paddock as teams prep for evening sessions.

If you’re coordinating with friends, pick easy-to-find meeting points like the main paddock entrance, a notable corner, or your campsite. Messaging apps can lag with network congestion, so set times and locations in advance for smooth link-ups throughout the day.

Accessibility

Carolina Motorsports Park is ADA-accessible, with designated ADA parking near the main entrance and paddock. Open viewing areas are accessible, and the facility’s ground-level layout supports straightforward movement around the complex.

If you have specific accommodation needs, contact the venue for arrangements. For assistance choosing accessible ticket options, reach out to Ticket Purchase — we’re happy to help you find an experience that fits your needs before you buy.

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you’ll find concessions and food trucks during major events, with options that vary by race weekend or festival. Look for local food vendors and occasional specialty offerings at larger gatherings, along with event and track merchandise stands for souvenirs.
