Media Credentials
The Texas Mile issues media credentials for individual events. It is recommended that you place your credential request at least 30 days in advance of the event. Media relation policies vary from track to track, event-to-event so it is important that you contact The Texas Mile in writing (preferably e-mail documents) on your company letterhead to help expedite your credentials. The Texas Mile will request you to send additional information if needed or direct you to circuit/track media relations if required for a specific event.

Photo Credentials
All media/commercial photographer requests, for both digital and film still shots, should be sent to The Texas Mile following the procedures for media credentials.
