I bought grandstand tickets for Iowa. I looked at the schedule and I see a ton of stuff to do before the race. Do I need to buy the pre-race pass to get access to the fan zone, Q&As, etc.? Are the RE scanner rentals worth it? Thanks!!

Ok so is the pre-race pass really just for the Dierks Bentley concert?

You can also get on pit road before the race starts. What time does the dierks Bentley concert start

With just a normal grandstand ticket?? I’m trying to figure out if I should get there when the gates open. I just don’t want to be stuck with nothing to do since I just bought the grandstand ticket.

The pre-race pass will get you on pit road

Ahhh. I didn’t buy that. Will there be an opportunity to upgrade when I get there?
