Brainerd International Raceway

Brainerd International Raceway (BIR) is a long‑running motorsports complex featuring a road course, drag strip and multiple racing surfaces that host national and regional events. The site includes on‑track condominiums, full‑service RV hookups and extensive open camping on more than 200 acres.

Events range from NHRA Nationals and MotoAmerica to club and track‑day weekends; the venue also provides showers and restrooms for campers and a staffed front office for event and ticket information.

Expect a busy, motorsport‑focused venue on event weekends with trade stands, race paddocks and loud on‑track activity. Facilities vary by area: deluxe condos and VIP RV sites have services, while open camping is primitive.

Look out for:

• NHRA and national series race weekends that draw large crowds.

• On‑site lodging options: 12 trackside condos and 170 full‑service RV sites in VIP campground.

• Large open camping area (first‑come) with showers/restrooms but limited hookups.

• Multiple tracks in one complex: road course, drag strip and additional circuits.

Best way to experience it:

Book RV or condo lodging early for major events, arrive with ear protection and a plan for food/parking; check the official BIR event calendar and ticketing for weekend‑specific rules and any restricted camping or power policies.

• Book on‑site condos or full‑service RV sites well before major events.

• Open camping is first‑come and may lack electrical or water hookups.

• Expect loud noise during races—bring ear protection.

• Check BIR’s event pages for specific camping rules and ticketing updates.
