Anyone going to the Nascar race this weekend?

DH and I are going with a group of people, but I don't know what to expect. Is it going to be super crowded and insane? Should we expect traffic to be a nightmare?

 

Re: Anyone going to the Nascar race this weekend?

  • Sorry I'm not, nor have I ever been.  I hope you and your friends have a good time though!
  • Not this year! Boo!  But I went last year and yes traffic will be horrible and people will be wild! I'm pretty sure those that camp for the Speed Week festivities have beer for breakfast!   Just be prepared for that! But the All-Star race is a blast!  I had such a great time last year!

  • I have never been either, but be sure to use plenty of sunblock!

    Ah, I totally would've forgotten about sunblock! I think I'll bring a hat with me too just in case. Thanks!

    And hand sanitizer!

  • The All Star race isn't as bad as the 600 in terms of traffic. It'll still be bad (arrive early) but its more of a party atmosphere. By the time the 600 rolls around, people are more tense. Stay hydrated, take sunscreen and have fun.Oh, and take some cheap plastic ponchos - weather is looking iffy!

  • Been several times to CMS for the race and my car shows. I know that track inside and out!

    Traffic is a nightmare, the SHP has no clue how to direct traffic!  Best way to come in is 40 and go out is 29.

    Also check to see where you are sitting and park accordingly. CMS is huge and we've made the mistake of parking on the opposite side.

    Hat and sun block are a plus but it gets cool at night so you might want to plan for that too.

     

  • Thanks for the previous advice because DH and I are going this wkend and this is our first time going..
  • I'm not going this year, but have been before....traffic and parking is a nightmare, but it's fun! Enjoy!
