FAN ZONE

The Fan Zone at Circuit of The Americas is the beating heart of NASCAR at COTA weekend – a lively area full of energy, music, and entertainment for all ages. Located in the Grand Plaza, right next to Turn 1, it’s the perfect place to soak in the race-day atmosphere before the engines roar to life.

Across Saturday and Sunday, fans can enjoy a full program of live shows, music, dance, and stunt performances, along with plenty of interactive attractions. Expect high-flying acrobatics, impressive dance groups seen on TV talent shows, and plenty of light-hearted family fun, including returning crowd favourites that always draw a big audience.

Throughout the Fan Zone, there are food stalls, bars, and merchandise stands offering everything from classic American BBQ to refreshing drinks and race souvenirs. Visitors can also meet roving performers, take photos, play games, and grab exclusive giveaways from various partner booths.

It’s the ideal place to spend time before and between the races – walking around, meeting other fans, enjoying the entertainment, and taking in the festival atmosphere that makes NASCAR at COTA such a special experience.
