NASCAR Hall of Fame requests a 1:10 ratio for chaperone to students. For every 10 students, 1 chaperone will receive free admission (does not include special add on options). For each additional chaperone or parent beyond the 1:10, individuals will pay the chaperone admission rate.

Field trips to the NASCAR Hall of Fame can help you meet many of your curriculum objectives! We have created Common Core, Next Generation of Science Standards and state standards aligned with our activities that help students engage in a variety of topics through the sport of NASCAR.

An educational learning experience averages 3 to 3.5 hours depending on activities and classes selected.

NASCAR Hall of Fame Foundation accepts applications for financial support for admission and education classes at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Eligibility is based on free and reduced lunch and Title I
percentages for a school. The availability of financial assistance depends on funds available for a year.

Schools or groups may either bring their lunch to eat outside in our ceremonial plaza under the trees or purchase a lunch package (chicken tenders or hot dog) from our concession. If there is inclement weather, the NASCAR Hall of Fame tries to make accommodations, but we do not have a separate cafeteria option.

Cancellation notice is requested as soon as possible. Cancellations may be rescheduled for a visit within 12 months. There is no fee for rescheduling as long as the class or visit is rescheduled within one week of the cancellation date and the visit is completed within the 12 months of the originally scheduled date. Changes to the number of attendees must be made three days before the program or visit, and an adjusted invoice will be provided. No refunds will be issued the day of the visit.

Payment is required five days before the program or visit date. Payments can be made via check or credit card. School checks (no personal) may be accepted on the day of the visit.

You may schedule your field trip up to a year in advance to secure your first date selection. A reservation is recommended at least four months in advance of your priority visit day. If you call with less than a month's notice, availability may be limited for select dates.

Requests for programs modified in content, length, or to fit ages other than those listed on the education section may be granted depending upon availability and require a custom program fee. Lead-time of at least six weeks is needed.

If your group arrives late and you have a staff led program, your program will be adjusted either to combine groups or abbreviated to finish at the originally designated time. If your group arrives more than 30 minutes late, your class may be subject to cancellation.

For an additional fee, a guided tour can be added to your NASCAR Hall of Fame visit.

A staff member will provide an orientation for students and teachers for all groups. If you elect to schedule a class or workshop, your class will be staff facilitated. Chaperones and teachers will provide a self-guided exploration of the building and exhibits. NASCAR Hall of Fame staff members will provide a schedule and map for each group of 10 students.
