Kentuckiana Ford Dealers 200

Not only do you get to enjoy two days of the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers 200, but you also get to do so while experiencing primitive RV camping on site. Guests can light a campfire, bring your pet with you, and use golf carts in the camping area as long as you have a valid driver's license.

Campers can also revel in the convenience of being nearby to all the racing action. While there are no service hookups, you’ll likely enjoy being able to camp off the grid in a race track camping area that has traditionally been free.

Travelers will encounter a few different RV campgrounds that are accessible with a large RV in and around Salem, including in Scottsburg. Services can vary from one campsite to the next, as can the proximity to Salem Speedway. Before you set off on vacation, decide whether you want to enjoy sewer, water, and electricity hookups at an established campground, or if you are okay with self-contained camping at Salem Speedway. Louisville South KOA rests about an hour's drive to the south along I-65 and may already be near your route to the raceway.

In the past, dirt bikes, scooters, and other motorized personal transport were allowed, but safety rules now dictate they are best left in your RV for once you exit Salem Speedway grounds. However, officials still allow you to use your golf cart around the camping area, as long as you are a licensed driver. Otherwise, you can navigate the grounds on foot without any hassle.

It’s often a mixed bag of weather during spring in Indiana, which means you’ll need to pack a mixed bag. Both light and heavy layers can ensure your comfort at any time of the day or night during your visit to Salem. The area also experiences rainfall during April, so pack a rain jacket and umbrella just in case.

There are not too many limitations on what you can and can’t bring into Salem Speedway for the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers 200. You are more than welcome to bring a cooler of a set size, but no glass or alcohol. If you decide to check out the infield rather than stay in the grandstands, then you can also bring your tent, grill, lawn chairs, and anything else you need to have the best racing experience. Those who are camping on site overnight should remember to bring their camping and cooking equipment, as well as cash for vendor purchasers.

Being outside in the elements for two days can take its toll, so arrive prepared. Stock up your RV first-aid kit before you leave, and don’t forget your sunscreen, bug spray, toiletries, lip balm, and any prescription medication you might require. If something will be hard to replace at a moment’s notice, pack it even if you don’t think you will need it.

There’s nothing quite like the gentle simmering of chili on a campfire, and this very experience awaits at the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers 200. As long as you are mindful of windy conditions, you can light a campfire and enjoy all manner of traditional camp-style food. Delicious bread over the fire, S’mores, and hot dogs await. You can also pick up all the supplies you need on the way to Salem Speedway in the heart of Salem.

Whether you’re taking a break from the racing or you’re about to carry on your adventure in Indiana, then why not stop for a bite to eat in Salem? Tantalizing tavern cuisine, pizza cooked to perfection, and even beautiful baked goods are all available in the city of Salem. The best part is, most eateries are within ten miles of Salem Speedway for convenience.

Salem Speedway pulls out all the stops to ensure all fans that attend the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers 200 have a great time. One of the ways they do this is by offering an abundance of food and beverages. Both on the outskirts of the track and in the infield, spectators can enjoy hearty tucker courtesy of the vendors.

Bring both cash and payment cards to ensure you have the correct payment type. You may also be able to purchase merchandise on site to remember your vacation to Salem for years to come.
