This was my first Nascar experience. Yes it was not just a race it was an experience. Although we only went to the Sprint cup race we met up with friends who were camping in the RV area Saturday night as well. The amount of people camping out amazed me. The camps ranged from simple RV's with chairs outside to elaborate set ups including pool tables and full size dance floors. There were a lot of people having a great time.
As for the race-the venue itself is huge! There was so much going on I am positive that we missed out on a lot because we ran out of time. There was something for just about everyone. Yes the food and drink prices were high but not as much as some of the other sporting venues in the valley. There was also a huge variety of food to choose from.
The race was loud and I was glad I brought ear plugs although they were available for purchase for $2. The seats are bleacher seats but they were pretty roomy so overall we were quite comfortable.
We arrived early and left as soon as the race was over plus we had a parking pass right near the track so traffic was not an issue for us. Although this was our first race I am sure it won't be our last!
