Since I can't remember from last year, does anyone know what the cost was to upgrade tickets to include a pit pass? I wanna say $15 per night, but can't remember.

Assuming it will be the same or close to the same this year.

That seems about right. My wife and I have done that for the past 3 years for Thursday - Saturday and seems like it was $90 total.

Seems to me it was 90 last year and that had gone up from $75 the prior year. But my memory sure ain't too good anymore.

Can you go over early afternoon on the weekdays and go in the pits free?

yes

you can also go into the pits each night after the races without a pass.

I think the pits are actually open to the public until noon or 2 o'clock.

Monday - Bldg opens at 9:00 a.m. Practice from 9:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. NO TICKET REQUIRED FOR GRANDSTANDS OR PITS

Tuesday - Friday - Bldg opens at 9:00 a.m. Pits open to public. They clear out the bldg at 2:00 p.m. and you must have ticket or wristband to re-enter.

Saturday - Bldg opens at 9:00 a.m. MUST HAVE TICKET OR WRISTBAND TO ENTER ALL DAY ON SATURDAY!!
