VISIT ATLANTA

Atlanta Motor Speedway is just the beginning. Located about 30 miles south of downtown Atlanta, the track puts you within easy reach of one of the most dynamic cities in the South. Whether you’re looking for culture, comfort food, outdoor fun, or just something to do between race events, Atlanta offers plenty to explore.

Downtown Atlanta is packed with attractions that are perfect for race fans and families alike. You can dive into sports history at the College Football Hall of Fame or get a taste of Southern pride at the World of Coca-Cola. The nearby Georgia Aquarium is one of the largest in the world and a great spot if you’re traveling with kids or looking to cool off during the summer heat. A short walk from there brings you to Centennial Olympic Park, a great place to relax in between sightseeing.

If food is part of your travel experience, Atlanta won’t disappoint. Known for its legendary barbecue and deep-rooted soul food culture, the city is full of must-visit spots. From classic drive-ins like The Varsity to more modern favorites like Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q or Busy Bee Café, the city’s dining scene is a real taste of the South.

Baseball fans can catch an Atlanta Braves game at Truist Park, where The Battery entertainment district offers shops, restaurants, and bars built around the stadium. If you're in town for more than just the race weekend, it's a great way to spend an evening.

Closer to the track, the towns of Hampton and Henry County offer a more relaxed experience. You can take a behind-the-scenes tour of Atlanta Motor Speedway on non-race days, explore local shopping at the Tanger Outlets in Locust Grove, or visit hidden gems like Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary. For a taste of rural Georgia, Southern Belle Farm offers seasonal fruit picking, fresh baked goods, and wide-open country views.

Whether you stay close to the speedway or head into the heart of the city, Atlanta gives NASCAR fans a great mix of racing excitement and Southern hospitality. Plan to arrive early, take your time, and enjoy everything the region has to offer beyond the checkered flag.
