Texas Motorplex Tickets & Events

Built around the first all-concrete drag racing superstrip, Texas Motorplex has been a landmark on the NHRA circuit since opening in Ennis in 1986. Texas Motorplex tickets put fans close to quarter-mile launches, national drag racing, multi-day festivals, country music performances, bull riding, BBQ, and family entertainment on a sprawling outdoor motorsports complex southeast of Dallas–Fort Worth.

This page covers everything you need to know before you go — from finding the right seats to getting there, navigating the venue, and buying with confidence.

About Texas Motorplex

Texas Motorplex is a multi-purpose motorsports facility and dragstrip located at 7500 W. Highway 287 in Ennis, Texas. Opened in 1986 and founded by Billy Meyer, the venue is operated by Texas Motorplex management and offers grandstand seating for roughly 30,000+ spectators, with additional capacity across the grounds for major festival events.

The Motorplex is regarded as one of the premier drag racing facilities in the United States and a landmark on the NHRA circuit. It hosts the annual NHRA Texas FallNationals, Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series and divisional events, bracket racing series, and multi-day festivals that combine live racing with country music concerts, bull riding, BBQ, and family entertainment.

The venue’s defining feature is its smooth, all-concrete quarter-mile dragstrip, with large grandstands near the launch area and grounds that support pit areas, vendor midways, and festival staging.

Location & Transportation

Texas Motorplex is located at 7500 W. Highway 287, Ennis, TX 75119 — along U.S. Highway 287 roughly 30 miles southeast of downtown Dallas.

Driving and Parking: Access is by car, and on-site parking is available across the grounds. Large event days bring heavy inbound traffic along Highway 287, so arriving early is the best way to give yourself time for parking, entry, and getting to your seats before racing or entertainment begins.

Rideshare: Rideshare is available, but service can be limited because of the venue’s distance from Dallas. Expect longer waits and possible surge pricing when large events let out, especially during marquee race weekends and multi-day festivals.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is available in Ennis and nearby Waxahachie. Fans looking for a wider range of hotel options can also stay in Dallas or the southern-metro suburbs and drive in for the event.

Venue Navigation

Texas Motorplex is a large outdoor motorsports complex, so planning your route from parking to the gates, grandstands, pits, or midway can make event day smoother. Expect open-air viewing, walking across the grounds, and active festival or race-day areas around the dragstrip.

Entrances and Access: Guests enter through the main gates off U.S. Highway 287 into the grounds and grandstand areas. Separate access points serve the pits and general parking, which is especially helpful to know on busy multi-day event days.

Seating Levels: Spectator viewing is primarily open-air grandstand seating running along the dragstrip near the starting line. Pit and midway areas are located on the grounds, while marquee events may also include premium and suite viewing areas.

Getting to Your Section: Grandstands are reached on foot from parking and entry points. Because walking routes can include open outdoor grounds and some uneven surfaces, comfortable shoes and extra arrival time are smart choices for major events.

Dining Options

Inside Texas Motorplex

Concessions and vendor stands operate throughout the grounds during events, with food and beverage service available for race days and festivals. Major festival events feature expanded food offerings, including BBQ, which fits the venue’s Stars of Texas Festival and Stampede of Speed programming.

Outside the Venue — Ennis and Waxahachie

Dining is available in Ennis along Highway 287, with additional options in nearby Waxahachie. Fans driving in from the Dallas area can plan a meal before heading south to the venue or stop locally before or after the event.

Security & Policies

Texas Motorplex maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: Bag restrictions and checks typically apply at the gates. Policies can vary by event, so packing light and bringing only essential items helps keep entry moving.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Weapons and outside restricted items are typically prohibited. Items that create a safety risk or interfere with the event experience may be restricted at the gate.

Entry Procedures: Expect ticket verification and bag checks at the gates on major event days. Arriving with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded tickets speeds entry and helps you get to the grandstands or grounds more efficiently.

How Much Do Tickets to Texas Motorplex Cost?

Texas Motorplex ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the headline entertainment, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from general admission racing to multi-day festival packages with racing, music, and entertainment.

For general admission racing and smaller events, tickets can start around $40, with kids 12 and under often free. These events can be a strong value for fans who want the sound, speed, and atmosphere of live drag racing without the higher demand of a national-event weekend.

NHRA national events such as the Texas FallNationals and other multi-day race weekends typically move from mid-range per-day pricing into higher multi-day packages. Demand is driven by the event’s prestige, single-day versus multi-day access, seating location, and proximity to the most in-demand race sessions.

Festival packages for events such as the Stampede of Speed and Stars of Texas Festival can carry higher multi-day pricing because they combine racing with music performances, bull riding, BBQ, and broader entertainment across the grounds.

Buying earlier generally secures better seating options and pricing for marquee events like the FallNationals. As inventory shrinks and the date approaches, the best remaining grandstand, premium, and multi-day options can become more competitive.

Texas Motorplex Seating Guide

Texas Motorplex seating is built around the quarter-mile dragstrip, so your experience depends on how close you want to be to the starting line, whether you prefer reserved grandstand seating, and whether your event includes general admission, premium hospitality, or festival-style areas.

Best Seats at Texas Motorplex

• Best value: General grandstand seats and lawn or standing areas farther from the starting line are typically the most affordable options, offering access to the event atmosphere while keeping costs lower.
• Closest to the action: Starting-line grandstand seating places fans nearest to the launch, where the sound, acceleration, and raw power of the cars are most intense.
• Best overall experience: Grandstand seats near the starting line deliver the most dramatic view of launches and the full run down the strip, making them a strong choice for fans focused on the racing.
• Premium and suite options: Suites and premium hospitality areas are available for marquee events such as the FallNationals, offering elevated viewing and group-friendly options.
• For groups: Suites and hospitality areas can accommodate groups during major events, while coordinating seats early helps groups stay together for high-demand race weekends.
• General admission: General admission is offered for many events, with some marquee dates featuring reserved grandstand seating.

The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the track, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Getting Ready for Your Texas Motorplex Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a large open-air motorsports complex where traffic, walking distance, weather, and mobile service can all shape the day.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Large crowds at major events can congest mobile service. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Highway 287 traffic and parking can fill ahead of race time, especially for major events and multi-day weekends.
• Wear the right footwear. Expect walking across open outdoor grounds with some uneven surfaces between parking, gates, and grandstands, so comfortable shoes are advised.
• Dress in layers. Texas Motorplex is an open-air venue exposed to Texas weather, with sun and heat during the day and cooler evenings in the fall. Sun protection and layers can make the day more comfortable.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Major events can bring heavy Highway 287 traffic before race time, so adding a buffer helps with parking, entry, and walking to your viewing area.
• Know your entrance. Knowing your gate and whether you're headed to grandstands, pits, or parking helps on busy multi-day event days.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
