In addition to unique food offerings, fans that visit the Irish Hills Escape tent will also get to take a picture with a leprechaun cut-out and grab some lucky coins from the pot of gold.

“I’m really excited about the hard work Americrown has done to provide opportunities for our fans that are exclusive to MIS,” speedway President Roger Curtis said. “We try in so many ways to provide a unique experience to all of our guests, so they come away with lasting memories every June and August.”

Fans interested in healthy dining, now have that option too! Salads are offered at the Irish Hills Escape in the Fan Plaza, sections 16, and in the infield concession stand below the pit road suites.
