Texas Pre-Race Festivities

Going to my first race since Covid started this Saturday. For those of you who have been to the races in the past year, what is available to the fans apart from the race/quali/practice sessions? I used to come way in advance for autograph sessions, always got garage passes, walking around the track, the whole nine yards. This time none of it appears to be available due to the restrictions. The \[TMS website\]([https://www.texasmotorspeedway.com/events/genesys-300/schedule/](https://www.texasmotorspeedway.com/events/genesys-300/schedule/)) says there's a pre-show of sorts, but I wonder if it involves driver introductions or just some yokel singing country music the whole time. It's an hour drive for me, so I am considering just coming for the race instead of getting baked on the grandstands between sessions.

What was your experience like?
