As this is the only NASCAR racetrack I have been to, I am left to compare this to the numerous baseball/football/sports venues I have experienced throughout the years.
Reasons this place rules:
- The massive scale is almost breathtaking (and a bit scary)
- You can bring your own beer in*
- You can bring your own beer in**
- You can bring your own food in***
- Even with a 140k capacity, you never have to wait to get in/out, for food/drinks or the bathroom
I have been here for the BoA500 and CC600 and have had a great experience both races.
To avoid the post-race traffic we camped out at the speedway last time. Not only was it well worth it to avoid sitting in a car for 2 hours after 10 hours of drinking and 4 of racing, but we made some VERY interesting friends at our campsite...

* No limits
** If you run out you can walk back to your car, get more beer and come back into the stadium
***Pretty sure we're the first people to bring a veggie and cheese tray into a NASCAR race
