Food lovers can explore an expanded lineup of food trucks and specialty vendors, with meals priced as low as $3 and most items capped at $5, making the experience accessible for families.
For those seeking a more relaxed atmosphere, the Chill Zone offers a man-cave-style lounge, glamping stations and tasting stations that let visitors unwind between races.
Family Fun and Racing Schedule
The Ameren Kid Zone has been expanded to 7,000 square feet and now includes a bounce house, inflatable slide, mini-golf, a pit-stop challenge and a giant coloring car that invites young fans to get creative.
