How do you become a fan or micro sponsor?
This is a very simple process for fan and micro sponsorship, all we need to do is collect a payment and your information (NAME, CELL PHONE NUMBER, EMAIL). Then we submit your information to NASCAR in the days leading up to the race and you go in and pick up your hot/cold pit & garage pass. For micro sponsorship, you will need to email your logo into rick@racedaysponsor.com for approval.

Where do I pick up my Pit Pass from?
Passes need to be picked up at the NASCAR Credential trailers, NOT WILL CALL, NOT TRACK CREDENTIALS OFFICE. We have provided all the maps to the credentials office on our "Pit Pass Pick-Up" page. Also, there will be signs around the track pointing you in the right direction and if you still can't find it just ask any parking attendant.
When can I pick up my pass?
You are able to pick up your pass as soon as the garages open. Just visit our page "Garage Schedule" to get a list of dates and times for every race. NASCAR does not post official credential hours for each race but they usually follow around a 9 to 5 schedule, and close while the race is going on.
