How To Get The Most From Your Nascar Experience

POSTED BY admin on Apr 8, 2008 under Recreation and Sports

NASCAR racing has become the fastest growing sport in the world. Attendance at races has increased more than 60% in recent years. More than six million fans attend races each year, while another 275 million view the races on national television. Live TV coverage has been expanded so that every NASCAR Nextel Cup race can be broadcast to the nation.

Why has our interest in NASCAR racing increased so much? One reason could be the sheer excitement of cars racing at such high speeds. Some NASCAR fans attend each race in the hopes of seeing a spectacular crash. Another reason NASCAR racing has garnered more attention from the public could be the staggering amounts of prize money at stake. When you look past the thrill and excitement, the human factor and down to earth personalities of NASCAR’s champs seem to appeal to most people and fans are quick to cheer on their favorite drivers.

If you’ve never been to a NASCAR race before, get some background NASCAR knowledge before you go. The race will be more interesting if you know what’s going on. Find out what the colored flags mean, how much prize money is at stake. Learn some of the NASCAR lingo, take a look at these NASCAR Terms. Get yourself familiar with the cars and who’s driving them, at least the top contenders. And pick a favorite so you have a car to cheer for!

A definite prerequisite is to find out the rules of the road at the track you’ll be attending. There are some general rules that apply to almost all tracks such as: No drugs, glass, pets, umbrellas or strollers. Some races allow you to bring a small cooler with your own beer or wine in it. If you drink, this is a no-brainer unless you want to wait in line for one or two cups of beer at a time. e the entire trck. Being in a high row is what most NASCAR fans prefer although some people do like

To enhance your experience and be the most comfortable, there are some things you don’t want to forget such as sunscreen, sunglasses or hat, binoculars and maybe ear plugs (although the adeafening noise is half the experience). You can sometimes rent headphones at the track that will allow you to listen to the commentators as you watch the race. This is helpful if you really want to follow the action and know what’s going on.

So how do you know which seats give you the better NASCAR experience? Personal preference plays into this decision, there is no single area around the track that is the best. If you’ve never been to a race this is a tough decision to make. There are four turns to most tracks, the backstretch and the Start/Finish line to consider. The most popular is usually the Start/Finish line and Turn 1 although any seat that is in a high enough row should allow you to seto be in a low row so they are closer to the action even if they can’t see the whole track.

So you’ve brushed up on NASCAR terms, learned about the track, researched a few drivers and are ready to see what the buzz is about. How do you get tickets to a NASCAR race? Many of the races are sold out to season ticket holders and die-hard fans way ahead of the race date. Your best option is to contact an independent ticket agency such as Stage Front Tickets, Inc. You’ll pay more than face value, sometimes a lot more, but you’ll get great advice on choosing a seat from helpful sales reps that are familiar with the tracks. If you visit the website ahead of time you can take a look at the seating chart for your track and have some idea of where you think you want to sit. You’ll also have a chance to ask any questions you might have left about the race, directions to the track, race start time, etc.
