Speedway Christmas is a self-paced, drive-thru event. As such, the amount of time it takes to get through the show can vary. The speedway has created dedicated “passing zones” throughout the route to allow drivers the opportunity to bypass slower traffic if desired. Drivers should look for signage posted designating the passing zones.
