Fans were allowed inside the racetrack in June but had to abide by certain COVID-19 guidelines such as wearing a mask, having their temperatures checked and being socially distant. Those same rules apply for the October race.

Camping will be limited to three nights only. Parts of the infield will also be open, according to their website.
