Transportation
Driving
The DXC Technology 600 is at Texas Motor Speedway in Texas. It’s 18 miles from Denton, 22 miles from the center of Fort Worth, and a mere 40 miles from the bustling metropolis of Dallas. Before you hit the road, download a traffic app such as TxDOT or DriveTexas, as you are going to want to have your wits about you on the way.
Whether you’re traveling on Interstate 35W or US-114, it’s imperative to allow extra time for travel.

Upon arriving on the outskirts of Fort Worth, turn off US-114 onto Allison Avenue to finally arrive at Texas Motor Speedway.
Parking areas
Whether you’re in a big rig or a standard-sized RV, you’ll be pleased to know that parking is plentiful and, in the past, free of charge. Where you park for the day can depend on if you are camping on site or venturing out of the grounds once the racing is over. There is parking along the front stretch of the grandstands and unpaved parking on the west side. A paved dirt track is also open for parking near the backstretch of the grandstand.
Public Transportation
While there are no public bus services that run directly to the DXC Technology 600 race, that doesn’t mean you can’t find a ride elsewhere.

Getting around
When you see Texas Motor Speedway for the first time, you may wonder how tired you’re going to get navigating all 1,500 acres on foot. Fortunately, you don’t have to go it all by foot.

This service has been free in the past and has several pick-up points from parking entrances, camping lots, and various entrance gates into the venue. Personal golf carts and wheeled transport are not allowed.
What to pack
Clothing
Aside from your racing supporter’s gear, you won’t need to be in a hurry to pack anything too heavy, bulky, or warm. Summer has well and truly begun for the DXC Technology 600, so you’ll be wearing shorts, singlets, t-shirts, and other light, breathable layers during your stay. Even at night, you’ll likely prefer summer sheets and light bedding as opposed to wool blankets and throws.
Gear
There is a lot to think about when you’re packing for the DXC Technology 600, and plenty you are not going to want to forget. Make sure you bring cash, binoculars, a small cooler, your event tickets, comfortable walking shoes, earplugs, and a hat. You can also rent a scanner or bring your own, then tune into the racing action with the frequency found on your event program. You can also bring food and beverages but leave anything glass back at your RV.
Health & Safety
Given the intense summer sun, you must think about your health and safety during your three-day stay at DCX Technology 600. Bring sunscreen and sunglasses, and pop a first aid kit in your RV storage area. Any toiletries and prescriptions you need on your holiday are helpful to bring too if you wish to avoid leaving the speedway to locate them.
If you’re a smoker, make your way to the concourse area to light up, as smoking is not permitted in the grandstands.
