Mixing wedding attire and tire smell isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but for diehard NASCAR fans, it’s what marital dreams are made of. The great news is that if you and your sweetie love racing, you can stop dreaming—there are speedways across America ready to make your nuptial fantasies come true.

Depending on the time of year, many couples can tie the knot right on the track of their local speedway (except on a race day—we’re looking for excitement, not danger)! However, if you’re really committed to watching a race on the day itself, most tracks have banquet halls that will host the ceremony, and many even overlook the track.

Some raceways will even hold your reception in one of their garages!

Plus, so many details are ready-made with this theme. Your bridal party is obviously your pit crew, there for support in their matching coveralls. Your parents are the proud sponsors whose names should be plastered across at least one buffet table, if not the aisle itself. And choosing a ring becomes a whole lot easier too…

 Your cake will be a no brainer, as well: multi-tired of course!

Even if your closest speedway won’t allow the reception or ceremony on the track itself, they likely do allow photo opportunities at the finish line. Those pics will serve double duty by looking great on your mantel AND showing off the state of your relationship: deserving of a trophy and champagne celebration.
