SPEEDWAY CHRISTMAS
Friday, November 18, 2022 - Sunday, January 8, 2023 6:00 PM 10:00 PM
Speedway Christmas features four million LED Christmas lights strewn across a four-mile course, with displays and lights synchronized to Christmas-themed music. The show is open rain or shine, and features synchronized lights to music on 101.3 FM.
The annual event is always a hometown favorite, allowing families to drive on the track. In addition to the lights, Charlotte Motor Speedway shows movies on the big screen Speedway TV, plus the infield garage area includes vendors and displays for families to enjoy.
Speedway Christmas is open almost every night, rain or shine, starting Nov. 18, all the way through Jan. 8, 2023. The only day it's closed this year is Christmas Eve. The Christmas Village will be closed on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with the exception of Dec. 19-21. The show runs from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m.
If you are on speedway property by 10 p.m., you will be allowed to drive through the show. If you're on an adjacent street waiting, you will not get to come in, so arrive early to ensure a place in line.
General admission is $40 per car. You can purchase an express lane vehicle pass for $70. Bus passes are available for $175 each. Tickets can be purchased in advance online.
Track organizers say Friday and Saturday nights are usually the busiest nights, so if you want less of a wait, you should plan a trip during the week or on a Sunday night.
