Anyone been to a Nascar race?

[cdvcreations]

My brother n law races in the Nascar cup series. I have gone to 2 races, but my husbands family is ate up in it! My husband said for that race track you want to get somewhere on turn four. That is where there is most likely to be a crash. Also ear plugs are a great idea it is VERY LOUD. I will not watch races on TV, but at the track it is more exciting.

My uncle goes to most of the races every year. I haven't been lucky enough to go! But, maybe someday since I only live 25 minutes from the Atlanta Motor Speedway!

oooh! LUCKY! I *love* Nascar. We went to Daytona a few years ago, and I would TOTALLY go back if given the chance.

For Texas, I'd say that you'd want to sit up kinda high since it's a super speedway. You want to be able to see the whole track. When we went to Daytona, we sat just past the start/finish line where they come off pit road. Those seats were GREAT. About the only other place I'd rather sit would be just past Turn 4 right there as they are going to the pits. You definitely don't want the back stretch though.

And yeah, you miss a TON in person that you would normally see on TV, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. It was INCREDIBLE.

lol i hate to admit its on tv at our house friday saturday and sunday---it never gets turned off--heck we even watch the race again going to sleep--lol lets see...we usually go to Talladega, Bristol and then to the Nashville Speedway races...LOVE EM...At Talla---we always take my great aunt and uncles trailer---and watch it off the roof there...its a BLAST Then Nashville we always sit down by the tracks...and wonder around since we've been there a billion times and then of course like Libby said further up where u can see the WHOLE track are the BEST BEST SEATS...if u ask me--and no one is afraid of heights....

Turn 4 or the start/finish line. Also, yeah, high up so you can see the track. And you might get ear plugs. it's loud. Or rent a scanner!!!

I love NASCAR!!!!!! We get a infield RV space at Las Vegas Motor Speedway every year! It is a BLAST!

My parent's are also season ticket holders to the Phoenix Speedway. They also RV so we have a great spot to party/crash and then awesome seats in Allison at the begining of pit row! (We can't go in Nov because of my son's school schedule though)

You MUST get the Nextell Scanners - it is really the only way to hear what is going on LOL.

aaron bought a scanner this year. we figured it was cheaper to buy than to spend 50 bucks a year renting. they only got one headset and will get another one next year. us girls go shopping during the race so just the boys actually GO to the race, but we like to tailgate

I really should try it, but I just don't *get* Nascar.
