• How do I use a scanner?
  • Scanners are programmed with various frequencies to foster a unique experience for each fan. Each frequency, or channel, allows scanner users to choose what content they listen to while watching from the stands. Many fans listen to their favorite driver’s radio feed as they go around the track, while others might listen to a more general broadcast of race commentary. Fans can listen to radios by bringing their own scanner to the track and dialing in to the frequency of their preferred channel.
