Thursday night’s FREE Pit Party will kick off the weekend with fans getting the opportunity to walk the pits, meet drivers and teams, collect autographs, take photos, and experience the atmosphere up close before engines fire for competition. The Pit Party is open to fans of all ages and serves as the official kickoff to Triple Crown weekend.

The IHRA Triple Crown is also the first stop in the new three-race Triple Crown format, where drivers in select professional classes will battle for a chance at a $1,000,000 bonus.
