Christopher Bell is set to headline EchoPark Speedway’s 2026 Speedway
Open House, giving fans a chance to meet one of NASCAR’s top drivers
on Jan. 24.
The annual open house gives fans an early jump on EchoPark Speedway’s

one of the sport’s premier facilities. During this free event, Bell
will take questions from fans before signing autographs during a special
appearance by the 13-time NASCAR Cup Series race winner.
On top of the opportunity to engage with one of NASCAR’s stars, fans
attending the Speedway Open House will also enjoy a day full of
entertainment, interactive activities, and Q&As with special guests
happening throughout the event. New for 2026, the Speedway Open House
will shift to the 1.54-mile speedway’s infield, hosting guests in the
Marcy Scott Media Center.
The 2026 Speedway Open House will be open to the public from 11:30 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 24. In addition to all the attractions at
the Marcy Scott Media Center, attendees will also be welcome to explore
the NASCAR Cup Series Garage and EchoPark Speedway’s Victory Lane

NASCAR season, with headline guest Christopher Bell and the rest of
NASCAR’s stars returning to Georgia four weeks later for the
Autotrader 400 weekend, Feb. 20–22. Fans can explore seating options
and lock in the best seats for that race weekend as well as the July
