During Charlotte Motor Speedway’s fall race weekend, NASCAR will spotlight a new pathway for fans to learn more about the NASCAR Mobility Pit Box and directly request access to the experience through NASCAR.com/MobilityPitBox, creating a new opportunity for fans to discover and participate in the program. The NASCAR.com destination provides fans with an access request form that is shared with host-track ticket offices based on event availability.

The Mobility Pit Box launched in February 2024 and was brought to life through Toyota’s commitment to “Mobility for All,” delivering a pit-road experience to hundreds of guests across the country.

The move to make the experience more directly accessible to fans comes after a successful 2025 season, when the Mobility Pit Box hosted 207 guests with mobility challenges and 546 total guests. Ninety-seven percent of surveyed guests rated their experience five stars, while 64% said they were not aware of the Mobility Pit Box until they were invited.

The NASCAR Mobility Pit Box is designed within NASCAR-regulated 15-by-15-by-15-foot pit-box dimensions and sits on pit road just feet from live pit stops. The experience includes modular seating for guests using wheelchairs and ECVs, an adjustable wheelchair ramp with powered lift, race-broadcast viewing monitors and climate assistance. NASCAR and host tracks also coordinate accessible transportation for participating guests.

“At NASCAR, we want every fan to have the opportunity to experience the sport in a meaningful way, and the Mobility Pit Box is a great example of what that commitment looks like in action,” said Eric Nyquist, Chief Impact Officer, NASCAR. “We’ve created an experience that helps remove barriers and brings fans with mobility challenges closer to the racing they love.”

The expanded fan-access approach follows a Las Vegas experience featuring former IndyCar driver, team owner and motorsports accessibility advocate Sam Schmidt. Schmidt’s firsthand experience provides a firsthand look at the Mobility Pit Box.

“I witnessed a timing stand for 25 years as a team owner, even I was impressed. I was excited, I was happy to put the earpiece on and I was sad to leave… it’s unbelievable,” Schmidt said. “I love the attention to detail. It’s over the top, so for anyone who has never experienced a race before, they’d be able to say, ‘Wow… this is accessibility.’ “
