August is set to be a very busy ‘Speed Month’ in Portland. Race fans will celebrate the return of the NTT INDYCAR BITNILE.COM Grand Prix of Portland on August 8-10 and then the NASCAR Xfinity Series Pacific Office Automation 147 just two weeks later on August 29-30.

Initial ticket sales for both events launched at 10 am on Monday, June 2. The sale includes multi-day Grandstand seats, General Admission tickets and parking passes for both events. Single-day tickets will be released later in the summer.

This year’s event will be the fourth race in Portland for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, featuring the stars and cars of the Indianapolis 500. Last year’s race was won by Australian driver Will Power, with Alex Palou of Spain finishing in second place. However, Palou has been on a strong winning streak, claiming five victories in the first seven INDYCAR races this year. Power has yet to win a race this year, so we can expect a tight race between the two champions.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series is also returning for the fourth time, and last year’s standout driver Justin Allgaier ultimately claimed the driver’s championship for 2024. He’s back again this year, leading the driver points race with three wins and 10 top five finishes in 14 races.

“Portland International Raceway is the place to be for race fans in the Pacific Northwest this August. Speed Month will be action-packed in Portland with the thrilling NTT INDYCAR SERIES, fender-bending NASCAR Xfinity Series and much more,” said Jerry Jensen, vice president and general manager of Green Savoree Portland, LLC, which owns and operates the event at PIR. “Now is the time for fans to select their preferred spots at PIR with multi-day tickets available for both exciting weekends.”

Grandstand seats are available at multiple price points for both events with 3-Day Grandstand seats at the BITNILE.COM Grand Prix of Portland starting at $85 and 2-Day Grandstand tickets starting at $80 for the Pacific Office Automation 147. Both events offer weekend General Admission tickets for $75.

For the NTT INDYCAR SERIES weekend only, fans can also purchase Pit and Paddock passes, plus Champions Club and Champions Club+ options to further enhance the race weekend experience. For a limited time while supplies last, the Champions Club membership includes an NTT INDYCAR SERIES Paddock Pass and offers premium access and exclusive benefits such as a personalized event credential, pre-race grid walk and more. Champions Club+ includes all the above benefits plus a Pit Pass which provides access to pitlane during practice and qualifying sessions. A Paddock Pass offers entry to “the locker room of motorsports” to get up close to the drivers, cars and teams throughout the weekend.

Both events offer a special value for families. Children 12 and under receive free General Admission when attending either event with a ticketed adult. Additionally, Rookie Racers memberships are on sale offering unique, behind-the-scenes experiences for kids ages 5-12.

All ticket pricing and options, including parking passes and RV Club spaces, are available online at RacePortland.com. Both events feature no fees on order processing for online orders.
