The venues

Quaker Steak & Lube: 1431 Parkway, Sevierville, TN 37862

Quaker Steak & Lube plays host for two official PITS events, Monday evening's "Light the Still" and Thursday morning's "Coffee & Camshafts", but it's a crowd favorite any day or night of the week. This is also the location of the famous PITS Wall where folks snap pics not only during PITS Week, but anytime they're in town...and we love when those pics are shared!

Newport Speedway:  767 Industrial Road, Newport, TN 37821

Newport Speedway is a 4/10-mile paved oval with 26 degrees of banking and a history that goes back to 1977.  The Speedway hosts 6 different driving events over 3 days of PITS: Monday are the BFGoodrich Driving Schools, Tuesday is Autocross and Wednesday is Fun Runs on the Oval, King of the Smokies competition (3 segments), Drifting and the Burnout competition. This is also the first crack at getting on the dyno and PITS merchandise. That's a whole lotta love Newport Speedway gives to PITS and we so appreciate their support!

Knoxville Dragway:  160 Raceway Drive, Maynardville, TN 37807

Knoxville Dragway is the place to be on Thursday and is where the speed demons go pedal to the metal to see who has the fastest hot rod at PITS. Built in 1970, this 1/8-mile IHRA sanctioned racing facility has over 12 acres of parking and seating for almost 3,000 spectators. Test 'n Tune, Racing Classes, KOTS Competition, PITS Merchandise, Dyno and purses for the Fastest Ford and Fastest non-Ford time slips makes for an action-packed day at Knoxville Dragway!

Junction 35 Spirits: 2655 Teaster Lane, Ste 280, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863

"J35" opened its doors in 2019 at The Mountain Mile and the PITS Crew immediately jumped on this venue to host The Shine Run Party on Thursday evening which now includes an Influencers Meet. With a Distillery and store on one side and a restaurant and bar on the other, you can "Drink, Dine and Distill" at Junction 35. The Mountain Mile and Tower Shops is one of Pigeon Forge's most unique shopping, dining, and entertainment complexes with 40+ retail, food, beverage, and entertainment options. For the daring there's "The Monster" Launch, Swing, and Drop thrill rides and with parking for 1,200+ cars there's plenty of room for PITS attendees on Thursday or any day! 

Sevierville Convention Center:  202 Gists Creek Road, Sevierville, TN 37876

The very first venue the PITS Crew booked back in 2016 was the Sevierville Convention Center. Host to the 2-day PITS car show on Friday and Saturday this 20 acre property is currently welcomes 1,000+ show cars outside, 150+ display cars inside and 90+ vendors both inside and outside...and growing! An 800 space parking deck onsite and a 1,500 parking lot across the street along with 2 hotels, 2 water parks and a golf course provides PITS attendees plenty of parking, activities, and accommodations. Shuttle service runs both days between the SCC and spectator parking. The PITS Trailer lot is exactly 1 mile from the SCC for convenient access to haulers before and after the show. 

The Sevier County Fairgrounds:  754 Old Knoxville Hwy, Sevierville, TN 37862

Home of the PITS Trailer Lot, this 14 acre property on the Little Pigeon River is currently configured to hold 200 trucks and trailers in a secured fenced lot and 300 spectator vehicles with shuttle service running both days. Most hotels prohibit trailer parking and most cabin rentals barely have enough parking for Mustangs, let alone trucks and trailers, which makes the Trailer Lot at PITS a nice amenity.
