| - I grew up going to races in NC (ahem, the land of Richard Petty), so I wasn't sure what to expect when I got tickets for the Subway 500. My husband had never been to a NASCAR race, so I was excited to take him. It can be an all day experience, if not all weekend, so I was worried when we left at 11:15 if we would make it in time. It took just 35 minutes to get there from North Phoenix and FREE parking. I was impressed with how easy it was to park and get into the gates. We had our earplugs, food, drinks and in our seats by 12:15. As long as you are seated in rows 25 or above, I don't think there is a bad seat. Next time, we will bring scanner headsets, but if you don't have them people are nice enough to tell you what's going on if there is a wreck. Next time I'd like to get the Pit Passes. My husband loved it, too! He's already talking about going in November. It's a small track, can't really compare it to Charlotte, Daytona, but it was better than I expected!
Btw, if you are going to bring your child (I wouldn't recommend any child under 3 or 4), I would recommend earphones that fit their ears or head or the wax drops. I saw one kid who couldn't get his earplugs to work and he looked miserable with the sound. It's loud!
