If you are organizing a group trip to Texas Motor Speedway for a NASCAR weekend, the logistics that look simple on paper get complicated fast. You are not just dealing with one race — you are dealing with I-35W and Highway 114 running at capacity, 75,000 fans funneling through the same handful of entrances, and a parking situation where the best spots go quickly and every cashless transaction needs to be sorted before you arrive. The single question that decides whether your crew glides in together or spends an hour in separate cars on Jarrett Drive is simple: where exactly does the bus drop everyone off, and where does it stage while you watch the race?

This guide answers that plainly, using Texas Motor Speedway's own published directions and the Fort Worth Police Department's race-weekend traffic advisories. Then it walks through everything else a group trip to TMS needs: which vehicle fits your party, what shapes the price, how the tram system connects the outer lots to the gates, and what the 2026 NASCAR calendar means for booking lead time.

Why a Dallas Charter Bus Rental to Texas Motor Speedway Makes Sense

Race weekend at TMS brings roughly 75,000 fans — and that's not counting infield campers — all converging on the same two-mile stretch of I-35W and Highway 114. The Fort Worth Police Department regularly warns residents to avoid the entire corridor unless they are attending the race. Contraflow into the speedway can begin as early as noon on race day, and post-race outbound contraflow doesn't resolve until 10 PM or later on a Saturday night.

Coordinating a caravan of cars through that means multiple designated drivers, multiple parking passes, and the high likelihood that half your group is still stuck on Jarrett Drive when the other half is already in their seats.

A Dallas party bus rental to Texas Motor Speedway solves all of it at once. Your whole crew boards from one spot in Dallas, Fort Worth, Irving, or wherever makes sense for your group, the pre-race energy builds on the ride, and everyone walks into the gates together. No one draws straws over who stays sober.

No one circles Victory Circle looking for an open spot. The bus handles the approach route, stages while you watch the race, and is right there when the final checkered flag drops and 75,000 people try to leave at the same time. That post-race exit is where a charter bus earns its keep most — your group boards and heads home while everyone else is inching through a police-managed contraflow.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Parking at Texas Motor Speedway

Here is what most online transportation guides leave out: Texas Motor Speedway does not publish a dedicated charter bus drop-off lane the way that stadiums like AT&T Stadium do. What it does have is a clear network of named lots, named entrances, and a tram system that connects them — and knowing which entrance your bus should use, and which lot it should stage in, is the detail that keeps a 40-person group from landing at the wrong end of a 1.5-mile oval.

The primary approaches to the speedway are off Highway 114, which runs east-west along the north side of the facility, and I-35W, which runs north-south along the west side. For most fan groups arriving from the Dallas metro, the standard route is I-35W North to the Highway 114 exit. From there, your approach depends on which gate or lot you are targeting.

The main grandstand lot — Preferred Parking, directly across from Gates 1 through 7 on the west side of the speedway — is accessed via the Petty Place entrance: take Highway 114 West from I-35W, turn right on Jarrett Drive, then left at the Victory Circle stop sign, and proceed 0.75 miles on Victory Circle to the Petty Place entrance. Preferred Parking is cashless and requires a pre-purchased pass. Free unpaved parking is available in the lots between Victory Circle and Preferred Parking on the west side of the facility, and in the paved Dirt Track lot across Lone Star Circle from the backstretch grandstand.

The Crystal Lot is accessible via Labonte Lane off Highway 114. All parking at TMS is cashless, so passes must be bought in advance.

The one-line version: your bus drops your group at the west-side gates (Gates 1–7) via the Petty Place entrance off Victory Circle, then stages in the adjacent lots. All parking is cashless and pre-purchased — there is no paying at the gate on race day. Confirm your exact staging arrangement when you book, because general parking is free while Preferred is a paid upgrade.

Texas Motor Speedway, 3545 Lone Star Circle, Fort Worth — at the intersection of I-35W and Highway 114, about 36 miles northwest of downtown Dallas.

The Tram System: How Your Group Gets from the Lot to the Gates

Texas Motor Speedway operates an on-property tram system on race weekends — the AAA Trackside Ride Fan Tram — that connects the outer lots and campgrounds to the main gates. Trams run from the WinStar World Casino Lone Star Circle and Victory Circle Reserved Campgrounds, stopping at Gate 1 and other points along Lone Star Circle. For groups parked in the outer unpaved lots or the Dirt Track lot across the backstretch, the tram cuts what would be a long walk into a short ride.

A tram map is available on the Texas Motor Speedway facility maps page.

For groups that have infield access, the route is different. The Barr Tunnel — the pedestrian tunnel named for former Fort Worth mayor Ken Barr, located near the pit exit by the scoring pylon — connects the grandstand side to the infield. It opens daily on race weekends and closes about two hours after the day's final event.

Vehicle tunnels into the infield (the South Tunnel, accessed via Allison Avenue off Victory Circle, and the North Tunnel, accessed via Mark Martin Drive to Lone Star Circle) serve infield campers and credentialed vehicles; standard fan groups use the Barr pedestrian tunnel or the grandstand gates.

Confirm the Drop Plan When You Book — Here's Why

Texas Motor Speedway's race-weekend traffic plan changes event by event. For the 2026 NASCAR tripleheader, the Fort Worth Police Department notes that contraflow on I-35W can begin as early as noon and that the entire SH-114 corridor near TMS becomes severely congested. For some major events, the speedway adjusts Preferred Parking entrance to Foyt Drive instead of the standard Jarrett Drive approach.

That single change means a bus following cached directions could miss the correct turn entirely. When you book with Party Buses Dallas, our reservation team confirms the active approach route and staging plan for your specific event date — including whether inbound contraflow is active and which lane your bus should use — so there is no guessing at an unfamiliar intersection while 75,000 other fans are trying to do the same thing. We recommend also reviewing the official TMS directions and parking page before your trip.

Every Way to Get to TMS: An Honest Comparison

There is no light rail to Texas Motor Speedway. The nearest public transit option involves a bus from downtown Dallas or Fort Worth with multiple transfers and a roughly 2-hour-17-minute total trip that covers 36 miles — impractical with a group and tailgate gear. Rideshare services operate in the area, but TMS does not currently maintain a dedicated rideshare drop-off zone at the gates, which means Uber and Lyft riders are typically dropped off at points outside the main traffic management corridors and left to navigate on foot.

For a group of four or five, that's manageable. For a group of twenty, it's a problem on the way there and a disaster on the way back when everyone in the post-race crowd is calling for the same cars at the same time.

Option Cost shape Arrive together? Post-race pickup Tailgating / drinking OK? Best for
Private charter bus or party bus One flat rate, split across the group Yes — one vehicle, one arrival Bus stages and picks you up on schedule Yes — no one needs to drive 15–56 passengers
Rideshare (Uber / Lyft) Per car each way — post-race surge hits hard No — multiple cars, multiple ETAs Long waits, surge pricing, no dedicated zone Fragmented — no consistent pickup 1–4 people, no gear
Everyone drives & parks Gas + pre-purchased parking pass per car No — caravans split on SH-114 Stuck in outbound contraflow until 10 PM+ No — everyone needs someone to stay sober 1–2 cars max
Public transit (Dallas bus to Fort Worth, transfers) ~$6–10/person Only if everyone boards the same run Very limited post-race service No gear, no coolers Solo travelers only

The honest read: for one or two people with no gear, a rideshare gets you there. The moment your group grows past two cars' worth of people, the coordination math tips decisively toward one bus. That's especially true at TMS, where the post-race exit is one of the most congested stretches of road in North Texas on race weekends — and your bus is already staged and waiting while everyone else works through the contraflow.

2026 NASCAR Calendar at Texas Motor Speedway: When to Book and Why It Matters

Texas Motor Speedway's marquee 2026 event is the NASCAR Tripleheader Weekend, May 1–3, 2026 — all three of NASCAR's national series in one weekend. The SpeedyCash.com 250 (NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series) runs Friday night, May 1, at 7:00 PM CT on FOX. The Andy's Frozen Custard 340 (NASCAR Xfinity Series) runs Saturday, May 2, at 2:30 PM CT on The CW.

The headline race, the WÜRTH 400 presented by LIQUI MOLY (NASCAR Cup Series), runs Sunday, May 3, at 2:30 PM CT on FS1. Kids 12 and under get $10 tickets for the Cup race with a ticketed adult, and Xfinity and Truck Series admission is free for children with a ticketed adult — which makes this a genuinely accessible group event when you get the transportation sorted.

The tripleheader draws the largest crowds of the year to TMS, which means the largest traffic volumes and the fastest depletion of preferred parking inventory. The Fort Worth Police Department coordinates specific I-35W contraflow schedules around each race day — those are not the same schedule all three days — so a bus booked for Friday night operates under a different traffic management plan than one booked for Sunday afternoon. Knowing that in advance is part of confirming the right approach for your exact event.

For the May tripleheader, we recommend booking your group transportation at least two to three months out — vehicles in the DFW area fill up for race weekends, and the gap between booking in February versus booking in late April is not just price; it is vehicle availability.

Beyond the tripleheader, keep an eye on the TMS events calendar for additional race weekends, special driving experiences, and motorsport events at TMS's dirt track and road course, which add their own event-day traffic patterns to the I-35W and SH-114 corridor.

What Size Bus Does Your Race Group Need?

Not every group headed to TMS is the same, and the right vehicle depends on two things: how many people are coming and how much tailgate gear they are hauling. A full-size charter bus handles 56 passengers with deep undercarriage bays that swallow coolers, folding tables, and tailgate setup with room to spare. A minibus fits 15–35 passengers in a right-sized vehicle that is easier to maneuver on the approach roads when traffic tightens up.

For smaller fan groups or a VIP crew heading to the Speedway Club, a 14-passenger Sprinter limo or Sprinter van gives you the coordinated pickup and drop-off without chartering a full coach.

Vehicle Typical capacity Tailgate gear Best for at TMS Key amenities
Sprinter limo / Sprinter van Up to ~14 Light — a cooler and bags Small crews, Speedway Club groups, VIP guests Premium leather, USB charging, tinted windows
Party bus (15–50 passengers) ~15–50 Onboard space, lighter gear Fan groups who want the pre-race energy on the ride Built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, dance area
Minibus (15–35 passengers) ~15–35 Overhead plus some underfloor Mid-size fan groups, family reunions, corporate outings Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, overhead storage
Charter bus (40–56 passengers) Up to 56 Excellent — deep undercarriage bays Large fan clubs, corporate sponsor groups, multi-day race trips Reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restroom, undercarriage bays

For the tripleheader weekend specifically, groups who want to attend more than one race day benefit from a charter bus because the undercarriage bays can hold everything the group needs across multiple days — no leaving gear in a hot car in the Preferred Parking lot. And for groups driving in from Dallas, Plano, Frisco, or the eastern DFW suburbs, the 40-plus-mile round trip is long enough that an onboard restroom and reclining seats go from nice-to-have to genuinely useful.

Dallas Charter Bus Prices for Texas Motor Speedway

Party Buses Dallas offers all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds — you know the exact number before you book. Charter bus and party bus prices to Texas Motor Speedway are shaped by four clear factors: vehicle size, how many total hours the bus is reserved (including pre-race staging and post-race pickup), the date (tripleheader weekends run higher than off-peak events), and your pickup location in the DFW metro. A group boarding in north Fort Worth drives a shorter distance to TMS than one starting in Mesquite or Richardson, and that mileage difference shows up in the quote.

For real ranges: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run approximately $160–$450/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $100–$250/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $180–$400/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $300–$520/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour. Pricing varies with season, event, and route, but you will never be surprised by costs you didn't see in your quote. Note that pre-purchased TMS parking passes for Preferred Parking are a separate cost if your group wants that lot — general parking on the west side of the facility is free, though unpaved.

Here's the per-person math worth knowing. A 56-passenger charter bus at $2,400 for an 8-hour race-day reservation comes out to about $43 per person when a full group books it — less than the cost of Preferred Parking for two cars. That is before you count gas, the coordination overhead, and the reality that nobody in those two cars gets to have a beer at the pre-race tailgate because someone has to drive home.

A Real Race-Day Example

Here is how a typical TMS group run looks. For a NASCAR Cup Series race last spring, a 34-person fan club booked a 40-passenger party bus. Pickup was at 10:30 AM from a hotel near DFW Airport, on-property by noon via Highway 114 to Victory Circle to the Petty Place entrance — well ahead of the noon-or-earlier contraflow start.

Undercarriage bays held two portable grills, a 60-quart cooler, camp chairs, and a tailgate tent. The group set up in the free unpaved lot, ran to the grandstand for the race, and the bus staged nearby for a 5:15 PM post-race pickup. Total 7-hour all-inclusive rental: $2,100 — about $62 per person, with the driving, the parking navigation, and the designated-driver problem solved in one flat number.

Getting There: Routes, Traffic, and Timing from DFW

Texas Motor Speedway sits at the intersection of I-35W and Highway 114 in northwest Fort Worth — about 36 miles from downtown Dallas and roughly 20 miles from downtown Fort Worth. Off-peak, that's a 40-minute drive from Dallas. On race day, it is a different story entirely.

From… Approx. distance Off-peak drive time
Downtown Dallas ~36 miles ~40 minutes
Downtown Fort Worth ~14 miles ~20 minutes
DFW International Airport ~21 miles ~25 minutes
Irving / Las Colinas ~28 miles ~30 minutes
Plano / Richardson ~46 miles ~55 minutes
Arlington / Grand Prairie ~30 miles ~35 minutes

Add race-day traffic to any of those numbers. The Fort Worth Police Department advises that I-35W and Highway 114 near TMS will be severely congested at times during race weekends, and that anyone who does not have to travel near the speedway should avoid the area. Inbound contraflow on I-35W can begin as early as noon — meaning the highway flips additional lanes toward TMS to accommodate inbound volume — and fans living west of TMS are specifically advised to use Highway 114 toward Rhome (the longer but faster route around the traffic).

Fans east of TMS are directed to Elizabethtown Cemetery Road/Litsey Road to reach Highway 377, Highway 170, or I-35W from an unaffected direction. Outbound contraflow on the Saturday night race runs from approximately 10 PM.

Arriving three hours before a Cup Series green flag gives your group a full tailgate window before the crowd peaks at the gates. For a 2:30 PM Sunday race, that means being on the bus by 10 AM and staged at TMS by 11:30 AM — ahead of the worst congestion and in time to claim a solid tailgate spot in the free lots on the west side. Post-race, your bus is already nearby and the group loads up while the parking lot gridlock is still forming.

The I-35W outbound contraflow clears your route home well before everyone still hunting their parked car in the Crystal Lot.

The standard run from Dallas: I-35W North toward Fort Worth, exit at Highway 114 West, then Jarrett Drive and Victory Circle into the speedway grounds. Confirm live routing for your event date via Google Maps.

Tailgating at Texas Motor Speedway: What's Allowed and What Isn't

TMS has a genuine NASCAR tailgate culture, and the free unpaved lots on the west side are where a lot of it happens. A charter bus is the ideal tailgate vehicle: undercarriage bays carry the grill, the cooler, and the chairs, and nobody draws straws for the drive home. But the speedway enforces real rules, and knowing them prevents a headache at the gate.

Per the official TMS track policies, here is what you need to know before you park and set up:

  • Two bags per person, max 18″×18″×14″. Soft-sided coolers are permitted up to 14″×14″×14″ (one per guest). Foam or hard-sided coolers of any size are prohibited. All items are subject to security search at the gates.
  • No glass. Glass or ceramic containers of any kind are prohibited on the speedway grounds at all times. Pre-packaged food and alcoholic beverages in bags or soft-sided coolers are also prohibited inside the gates, so sort out what goes in the tailgate versus what you carry in.
  • No collapsible chairs inside the grandstand. They are fine in the tailgate area, but they cannot be carried into seating sections. Leave them with the bus or in the lot.
  • No drones. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are explicitly prohibited.
  • Smoking is not permitted in any grandstand. Designated smoking areas are available on the property.
  • Re-entry requires a ticket scan-out. If anyone in your group needs to leave mid-event and come back, they must scan their ticket out at the front gates with a staff member before exiting, then go through security again on return. Coordinate with the bus for any mid-event vehicle needs before you split up.

One note for vehicles entering with gear: TMS camping rules note that vehicles may not park in fire lanes or within 15 feet of fire hydrants. For a charter bus staging in the lot during the race, our team identifies a compliant staging area when confirming your event logistics — so there's no scramble at the gate over where the bus can sit.

Texas Motor Speedway: What Makes It Worth the Trip

Texas Motor Speedway opened in 1997 and quickly established itself as one of the fastest and most fan-friendly tracks in NASCAR. The 1.5-mile quad-oval runs 20 degrees of banking in Turns 1 and 2 and 24 degrees in Turns 3 and 4 — the steeper back end is what produces the high speeds that make TMS a fan favorite for side-by-side racing. The speedway features the world's largest HD video screen mounted above the front stretch, a Speedway Club overlooking Turn 1, approximately 9,000 camping spots for multi-day fans, and a full infield road course complex with four layout options plus a 0.200-mile paved short track and a 0.400-mile dirt track.

The Barr Tunnel connects infield to grandstand so infield campers don't miss a lap. For group trips, the broad grandstands along the front stretch offer excellent sightlines to the entire racing surface, and the tram system gets outer-lot fans to the gates without a half-mile walk.

The 2026 tripleheader is the best value on TMS's calendar: three national series races over three days, with Truck and Xfinity admission free for kids with a ticketed adult, and Cup Series tickets starting at $10 for children 12 and under. For a family group or a mixed-age fan club, that pricing makes the transportation math even more favorable. Check the official WÜRTH 400 schedule page for green flag times and TV details before your trip.

Flying In for Race Weekend? Airport-to-Speedway Transfers

The DFW metro has two major airports, and either one works as a group pickup origin for a TMS race weekend. Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) sits about 21 miles from Texas Motor Speedway — roughly a 25-minute drive off-peak via SH-114 West. Dallas Love Field (DAL) is slightly farther south, about 30 miles away.

Both are straightforward single-pickup origins: one bus collects your group at baggage claim and runs straight to the speedway or your hotel, instead of splitting everyone across rideshares in a terminal that is already busy on a race weekend.

For out-of-town groups flying in for the tripleheader, the most common setup is arriving Friday, attending all three race days, and departing Monday. A charter bus handles the airport pickup, the hotel-to-speedway shuttles for each race day, and the return to the airport — one vehicle, one point of contact, one predictable arrangement across four days. That is also when per-person math becomes most favorable: a multi-day contract split across a large group routinely beats the cost of renting cars plus parking for three days at TMS.

Call 469-430-0949 to discuss multi-day race weekend contracts.

Who We Take to Texas Motor Speedway

Different groups, same goal: everyone arrives together, watches a great race, and gets home without anyone stuck waiting for an outbound rideshare on Jarrett Drive at 10 PM. A few of the runs we handle most:

  • NASCAR fan clubs and supporter groups. Large-scale fan travel where the tailgate starts the moment the bus leaves Dallas — built-in bar, LED lighting, and sound keeping the energy up from pickup to green flag on our party buses.
  • Corporate sponsor and hospitality groups. Moving clients and staff from DFW or downtown Fort Worth hotels to the Speedway Club or suite-level hospitality without anyone worrying about parking logistics or the post-race crawl. See our Dallas corporate event party bus rental service.
  • Multi-generational family groups. Grandparents to grandkids in one comfortable vehicle — minibuses with strong A/C for the Texas heat and reclining seats for the return trip home.
  • Out-of-town race travelers. Groups flying into DFW for a tripleheader weekend who need one coordinated transfer from the airport to the hotel to the speedway and back, handled through our Dallas airport transportation service.
  • College and alumni groups. Fan groups from UT, Texas A&M, TCU, or out-of-state schools road-tripping to TMS, where a charter bus means nobody misses a race day because they drove separately and got stuck in contraflow.

Booking Your TMS Bus: Three Steps

Booking a Dallas party bus or charter bus to Texas Motor Speedway is straightforward, and locking in the details early is what keeps the race day stress-free:

  1. Request a quote with your group size, your pickup location in the DFW area, your specific event date (Friday Truck race, Saturday Xfinity race, Sunday Cup race, or full tripleheader), and how much pre-race tailgate time you want staged at the speedway.
  2. Confirm the vehicle and the approach route. We verify the active traffic management plan for your event date — including whether Preferred Parking entrance shifts to Foyt Drive — and match the right vehicle to your headcount and gear load.
  3. Set your post-race pickup window. Agree on a staged pickup spot and time before the group splits up for the grandstands, so the bus is right there when the checkered flag falls and you are ready to beat the contraflow home.

A few questions we hear regularly: How early should the bus arrive at TMS? Three hours before green flag gives you a full tailgate window before the lots and gates peak. Does the bus need its own parking pass?

General parking on the west side of TMS is free; Preferred Parking requires a pre-purchased cashless pass. We sort out which lot works best for your group's setup when you confirm the booking. Can we do all three days of the tripleheader?

Yes — multi-day contracts are available and make the per-person math even stronger across three race days. Call 469-430-0949 to lock in your date before the tripleheader weekend fills out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where exactly does a charter bus drop off at Texas Motor Speedway?

There is no single designated charter bus drop-off lane published by TMS. Most groups arriving by charter bus use the Petty Place entrance off Victory Circle (accessed via Jarrett Drive from Highway 114), which deposits the bus directly across from the west-side grandstand gates (Gates 1–7). On some events, TMS directs Preferred Parking entrance to Foyt Drive instead — which is why we confirm the active approach route for your specific event date when you book, rather than relying on a fixed instruction that may be outdated.

Does a charter bus need to buy a parking pass at Texas Motor Speedway?

General parking in the unpaved lots on the west side of TMS is free and does not require a pre-purchased pass. Preferred Parking, directly across from Gates 1–7, is a paid upgrade that must be purchased in advance — all TMS parking is cashless and no passes are sold on site on event days. If your group wants Preferred Parking for the closer lot and shorter walk, that pass is a separate cost from your charter bus rental.

Free lots are a reasonable option for groups who plan their timing and arrive early.

How much does it cost to rent a bus to Texas Motor Speedway from Dallas?

Pricing depends on vehicle size, total hours reserved (including pre-race staging and post-race pickup wait), the event date, and your pickup location. As a guide: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $160–$450/hour; small party buses run $100–$250/hour; mid-size party buses run $180–$400/hour; larger minibuses and party buses run $300–$520/hour; and full-size charter buses run $150–$300/hour. NASCAR tripleheader weekend runs higher than off-peak events.

We provide all-inclusive pricing in under 30 seconds with no hidden costs. Call 469-430-0949 or use the online quote tool.

When does race-day traffic get bad on I-35W and Highway 114?

Inbound contraflow on I-35W toward TMS can begin as early as noon on race day. Highway 114 near the speedway is severely congested during race weekends, and the Fort Worth Police Department advises avoiding the corridor entirely if you are not attending the event. Post-race outbound contraflow runs from approximately 10 PM on Saturday night events.

Arriving three or more hours before the race gets your group in ahead of peak congestion and gives you time for a full tailgate before the gates fill up.

What's the bag policy at Texas Motor Speedway?

Each fan may bring up to two bags, not exceeding 18″×18″×14″, and one soft-sided cooler not exceeding 14″×14″×14″. Foam or hard-sided coolers are prohibited regardless of size. No glass or ceramic containers are allowed anywhere on the speedway grounds.

Pre-packaged alcoholic beverages in bags are prohibited inside the gates. All items are subject to security search. Verify current policies against the official TMS track policies page before your event date.

Can the bus stay staged at TMS while we watch the race?

Yes. The bus is booked as a block of hours, so it can drop your group at the gates, hold tailgate gear in the undercarriage bays during the event, and stage in the lot for a pre-arranged post-race pickup. Set the pickup window with our team before your group heads into the grandstands so everyone knows exactly where to meet when the checkered flag drops — no scattering across the lot trying to find the bus while 75,000 other fans are doing the same thing.

What are the 2026 NASCAR race dates at Texas Motor Speedway?

The marquee 2026 event is the NASCAR Tripleheader Weekend: May 1 (CRAFTSMAN Truck Series SpeedyCash.com 250), May 2 (Xfinity Series Andy's Frozen Custard 340), and May 3 (Cup Series WÜRTH 400 presented by LIQUI MOLY). Check the official TMS events calendar for any additional race weekends or special events added to the schedule.

How far in advance should I book a bus for the NASCAR tripleheader?

At least two to three months before the May 1–3 tripleheader. DFW-area charter buses fill up for major race weekends, and the right-size vehicles go first. Booking by early February locks in the best selection and pricing.

Waiting until April means limited availability and higher rates — or no vehicle at all for a group your size on the specific day you need.

Do you have ADA-accessible vehicles available?

Yes. ADA-accessible vehicles are available in our fleet. Let us know your accessibility needs when you request a quote and we will match the right vehicle.

TMS also offers disabled parking at the front of the Preferred Parking Lot with a valid handicapped placard or license plate.
