Da champ Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 With the new rules package. I'm looking forward to the race next month. Always a great weekend because about 10 of us have two camping spots and arrive on Wednesday. The racing is a bonus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theguru Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 One of these years I am going to go. And yes the new rules and aero packages have made the racing better in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEERFAN Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I'm not a racing guy but I have always wanted to camp and attend the event. I know I'd enjoy it for the people watching alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpapa Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 My better half has been leaning on me for a while to take her to either the KY Speedway or to Daytona. I’ve been to the Indy 500 but never to a NASCAR race, not being a fan. But she is, to the point of wearing a Chase Elliott t- shirt pretty much every race day. I expect that after 40+ years of marriage, I’ll buckle under sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJAlltheWay24 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I think I might be beer vending the event for the first time this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NKYFootballer Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Any tips for first time race goers? I know in the beginning parking and traffic was an issue, are those fixed? Also what time do people start tailgating? Any info would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what time do people start tailgating? Any info would be appreciated. The times I've been, we usually got there between 10:00 and 11:00. Plenty of people showing up and tailgating at that point. The earlier you get there, the closer to the track you'll get to park, but, that means the longer it may take you to get out afterwards. We almost always would fire up the grill again after the race and hang out for a while afterwards to let traffic die down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheldon Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Watching on TV yesterday, it looked as if the event was not that well attended. I am not a big race fan, but what has happened to this formerly must see event regionally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of Reason Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Watching on TV yesterday, it looked as if the event was not that well attended. I am not a big race fan, but what has happened to this formerly must see event regionally? NASCAR attendance is dropping a lot everywhere. So is TV viewership. The race at Bristol earlier this year only drew 38,000. In year's past it sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
