Phoenix Raceway Parking Guide: Where to Park, Parking Map and What It Costs (2026)
Part of Happy Hour Racing's NASCAR Track Parking Guides - where you park, what it costs and how you get out.
The Short Version
- Cheapest lot: free. General parking in Lots Blue 2-6 and Yellow 6 costs nothing.
- Pass needed in advance: not for general parking. Every closer lot needs a parking pass, and Phoenix only publishes one price.
- The one trap: Avondale Boulevard, Exit 131. That is the pass and ADA route. Free parkers should use Exit 126 or 128 off I-10.
Where to Park at Phoenix Raceway
Phoenix Raceway parking is built around lettered entries off Jimmie Johnson Drive. Your pass color tells you which entry to use, and if you have no pass, you park free.
- General parking - free. Lots Blue 2-6 and Yellow 6, through Entries J, K, L and M. First come, first served.
- El Mirage - pass required. Entry F (Blue). The track's 2027 season parking package lists it at $76.50 for the spring weekend. A single-race price is not published.
- Preferred - pass required. Entry G (Red), the first lot on the left. Price not published. Busch Light Lounge tickets include a Preferred pass.
- Premium and Ally Curve - pass required. Entry E (Purple). The track calls Premium the closest parking to the gates. Price not published.
- Suite - pass required. Entry C (Gray), for suite holders only.
- Motorcycle and Busch Light Lounge - pass required. Entry I (Yellow).
Open lots and prices vary by event. The official parking page has a live GPS link for every lot.
Do You Need a Parking Pass in Advance at Phoenix?
Not for general parking. For El Mirage, Preferred, Premium, Suite and Motorcycle, yes. Passes are digital and live in your online ticket account. Fans with camping or hospitality packages that include parking pick up their pass at the track.
The only public buy link we found is the 2027 season parking package, which bundles El Mirage for both NASCAR weekends. The spring race page sends you to the parking page instead of a single-race checkout, so call 866-408-7223 for a one-weekend pass. The track lists no sellout date. The 2027 spring weekend runs March 12-14.
Phoenix Raceway Parking Map
This is the track's own map. Blue and yellow lots on the west side are general parking. Pass lots sit along Jimmie Johnson Drive, closer to the grandstand.
Infield, RV and Camping Parking
There is no infield day parking. The Desert Diamond Casino Infield Experience is a ticket, reached on foot through the Tunnel of Triumph.
The spring camping page lists four campgrounds, all dry camping with no hookups: Dunes South and Dunes North (25 by 50 feet), Trails (25 by 50, limited) and Flats (20 by 40, limited). Each site holds one camping unit and one tow vehicle. Extra vehicles park in Blue 2 and Blue 6.
Site prices are not printed on the camping page. You buy by phone at 866-408-7223. Flats check in at Entry G, and Dunes and Trails at Entry M.
Accessible Parking and Shuttles at Phoenix
Accessible parking is free with a state-issued disability plate or placard. Exit I-10 at Avondale Boulevard, Exit 131, head south and follow the blue route signs. Coming east on Avondale Boulevard, use the far left (south) lanes.
- The person the placard belongs to must be in the car with ID.
- Spaces are first come, first served. Once full, staff send you to general parking.
- The lots are for cars and light trucks. Oversize vehicles go elsewhere.
- Buy a wheelchair-accessible seat and you get one Reserved Accessible Parking Pass per account. You need that pass and your placard.
The lots fill fast, so arrive early.
- Parking tram: stops in every general lot and drops you at Cotton Lane and Harvick Lane, outside Gate 3.
- Camping shuttle: runs from Sun Lane to the SPEED Lane stop outside Gate 2.
- Accessible vans: run both routes for guests using wheelchairs or scooters.
- Rentals: Copper Star rents wheelchairs and scooters on the Midway.
Getting In and Getting Out
The track is at 7602 Jimmie Johnson Drive in Avondale. Pick your exit by whether you have a pass:
- I-10, from either direction: general parking uses Exit 126 Estrella Parkway or Exit 128 Litchfield Road. Pass and ADA use Exit 131 Avondale Boulevard.
- Loop 202 northbound: general parking uses Exit 76 Buckeye Road. Pass and ADA use Exit 73 Broadway Road.
The track publishes no lot opening time. It says to arrive early and allow extra time to park and ride the tram. Rideshare, taxis and buses use Entry E off Jimmie Johnson Drive.
Leaving, the track asks you to be patient in the lots and keep your navigation app open. Some routes close after the race to manage traffic. Phoenix publishes no clear-out time, so plan on a wait.
