Nascar teams up with WWE; Announces a special show for Pennzoil 400 x WrestleMania Vegas

NASCAR has partnered with WWE for the first two weeks of the 2026 season. The stock car racing series will return to Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend for the Pennzoil 400. Then, before the main event, WWE and the Stock Car Racing Association have teamed up, offering a combined package of two “can’t-miss events.”

According to the post shared by Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s official handle X, fans can attend two main events using the combined ticket package. For reference, an event as large as Las Vegas Raiders games at Allegiant Stadium alone costs more than $300 per game. Meanwhile, the governing body is offering access to two events for less than $300.

NASCAR and WWE announced a $250 admission package, providing access to an Earnhardt or Petty Terrace seat for the Pennzoil 400 Cup Series race, scheduled for March 15, 2026. Along with one stadium ticket to WrestleMania 42 on either Saturday, April 18, or Sunday, April 19. Seating allocations for the WWE event will be confirmed later.

Reflecting on this, Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s official X handle wrote:

“Horsepower meets WrestleMania NASCAR and @WWE are teaming up to bring fans two exclusive ticket packages, giving you access to two massive live events for one unbeatable price.”

According to a report shared by WrestleZone, a $1,000 Platinum Pass is also available for fans. This ticket will provide access to a NASCAR club level ticket for a Cup Series race and a floor ticket for WrestleMania 42.

However, the only downside to the deal is the time frame for both events, as they are each a month apart. This may result in increased travel costs for fans traveling outside of Las Vegas to attend both events.

Ahead of the 2026 season, NASCAR broke the Guinness World Record in Times Square with Ross Chastain

Earlier in February 2026, NASCAR sent Trackhouse Racing driver Ross Chastain to New York City for a brand campaign. The governing body then broke the world record for the tallest billboard with a Chevy engine.

As part of the new “Hell Yes” campaign, the sanctioning body placed a 1:1 replica of a Chevy Cup Series engine on the billboard. The engine was built by Hendrick Motorsports and ECR Engine Alliance in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

When Ross Chastain started the engine, its power rose to 133.7 decibels, setting a new Guinness World Record. An organization official confirmed the record and handed an official plate to the Trackhouse Racing driver. Speaking about the new achievement, Tim Clark, chief brand officer at NASCAR, said:

“Setting the Guinness World Record title is a proud moment for our sport and serves as a bold statement to kick off the 2026 season. The billboard puts the profound energy of NASCAR front and center and invites everyone to experience what makes our sport unique.”

The Cup Series season will mark the fourth start of the 2026 season at Phoenix Raceway with the Straight Talk Wireless 500. The 312-lap race is scheduled for March 8, 2026. Major networks, including FS1, MRN, SiriusXM and HBO Max, will broadcast the 312-mile event live at 3:30 p.m. ET.
