Best NASCAR Race to Attend

And if you don't feel like traveling, just go to Knoxville any Saturday night this summer. Don't forget to cross the street and go to Dingus' after the race!

I will second that!!! For really good racing there, hit the Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals the first weekend in October and cheer on your favorite former Cyclone (lol, hopefully I won't flip and destroy a car this coming year like this past year).

Ive been to 5 tracks and have always had a great time at Phoenix Raceway. We get a camper and camp out just outside the Track.

My vote would be for the night race at Bristol. Someday, my dad and I are going to go, just haven't found time yet. I've been to both Dover and Chicago and both were a good time.

My dad has 12 burger king stores around Dover, so we went as guest of #00 back then. It was a good time and half the people that make fun of Nascar have no idea what it is like down in the infield during Race Week. It is something that most never get to experience, but I wish they would. It will 100% change your opinion of the sport.

But what's the best one to go to if you could care less about the race?

Kansas Speedway, Oct. 4th - Day after our football game at Arrowhead.

Also, how did you get this chance to go to whatever race you want?

My initial gut feeling was the Daytona 500, but I'm also intrigued by Bristol.... and any trip to Vegas is also a good time.

Anybody been to any of those, or have any recommendations on any of the other stops on the circuit?

My dad went to a race in Talladega and really liked it. Obviously its right in the middle of the neck woods so he said as far as the fan base went it was a really crazy atomosphere. So in his words...besides the huge amount of complete rednecks he had a really good time and would definately go again...

p.s. Im not a fan
p.p.s. I dont think its a sport either

Thanks for contributing nothing. Can't people learn to just not open and respond to threads if they don't agree with what is going on? It's really not that hard.

You forgot the "make left turns" joke

Also if you ever have enough money to go to a race you might want to go. It's really fun even if you don't like Nascar.

I'm treating it that way as well this year. With the economy, you can buy tickets to about any race. Even Bristol is offering season tickets for the first time in 8 years.

I won it through a drawing, the prize was a weekend trip to the race of your choice.

I'm not a NASCAR fan at all, but it is something I have intended to go to once in person just for the experience of it, so this is a great way to check that off the list. As an all around sports fan, I like to try everything out in person at least once.

Thanks for the input guys, I think I'm down to either the night race at Bristol if the race is of primary interest, or probably Vegas if I am interested in other activities over the weekend for obvious reasons.

Talledega or the night race at bristol
Boone in the summer is also a good time as well as the IMCA supernationals

NASCAR is a sport, any doubters suit up and drive 500 miles at 180 its a sport
