ADA INFORMATION
GUEST SERVICES CONTACT INFORMATION
An elevator is available for ADA guests needing access to Suite areas. All ADA grandstand seats are on the ground level of the grandstands as well as the Newton Club seating.
Accessible restrooms are available throughout the Speedway, including grandstand and infield areas.
Service animals are welcomed throughout the property.
- A service animal is defined by the ADA as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. Tasks performed by the dog must be directly related to the person’s disability.
- A person may have more than one service animal if they have a need for multiple tasks to be performed (i.e. a seeing eye dog and a seizure alert dog).
- Emotional support, therapy, comfort, or companion animals that provide comfort by being with a person are NOT qualified by the ADA as service animals.These are not permitted into our ticket/credential areas.
- The ADA requires that service animals are always under the control of the handler.
- The service animal must be leashed, harnessed, or tethered at all times, unless these would hinder the service the service animal is trained to perform.
- If a service animal behaves in a way that poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others, has a history of such behavior, or is not under the control of the handler, that animal may be excluded. If an animal is excluded, staff must still offer goods and services to the person without the animal present.
- Guests are responsible for caring for and supervising the service animal, including toileting (bringing their own pet waste disposal bags), feeding, grooming and veterinary care.
- Guests who bring service animals may request wheelchair seating to accommodate the service animal safely and comfortably.
- NOTE: Service animals in training do not need to be allowed to enter. The service dog must already be trained before it can be taken into public places.
