How is it like sitting in the grandstands during a Nascar race?

Question

I have only been to qualifying and practice days when it is not as crowded. Is it crazy, loud? Is it kinda hard to move around because you are around alot of people. How is it like? Thanks

Answer 1

it's amazing!! so much fun, so much energy!!

Answer 2

Its awesome!!!

I was at the July race in Daytona (McMurray edged out Busch) great race!!!

Answer 3

It is amazing!! When the cars go by, the seats rumble and everyone around you stands up to cheer on their favorite driver (Kasey Kahne). It is very loud, but totally thrilling. It is a great experience.

Answer 4

It is the best experience that you can have.  Yes it is crowded.  But it is so much fun.  There are the people who really don't care who your favorite driver is and they are probably going to share their beer with you if you run out.  The NASCAR nation are the funnest people to be around.  I really love to Atlanta Motor Speedway every year.  I know that when I go and I headed to the track, people ask if I would like to come get something to eat at their tailgate party.  I don't know of any other sport where that happens.

Go and see for yourself what an exciting time time it is.

Answer 5

Loud, thrilling, exciting..... awesome!  Nothing like smelling that rubber burn and feeling the vibration from the engines!!!  It can be hot, can be cold (as was Martinsville VA this past March - brrrrrrrr we froze to death!).  Lowes was awesome weather both for the All Star race and the CC600... which reminds me to tell you to bring sunscreen!   We always meet people along the way and still talk to a few that camped near us.  Going to the race is like being a kid again!!!!

Answer 6

ITS  CRAZY!!BASED ON  WHAT  DRIVER  OR  TEAM  YOU ARE  PULLING   FOR !!ITS  VERY MOVEING!  EMOTIONAL;   AT  TIMES

Answer 7

It's sooooooo much fun!  The noise, the people, everything.  Yes, it's crowded, but usually I get stuck in a group of people who are sooo much fun!  I've actually met some people at the races who I'm still friends with now.  

It's just so worth it.  :)

Answer 8

If you want to go to a race to experience it, I hope you get there!   I went to the North Carolina speedway and I sat in the stadium, and walked up and down the steps, and no one bugged me-- because I was there for a tour.  Well, I also have listened to the race day noise, and seen wall to wall people, which I don't think I would like.  But then again, I went to a Cubs game, noisy, and wall to wall people, and I enjoyed it:)

Answer 9

it's fun. it is very crowded there. everyone there are so friendly there.

i myself was just at a Nascar show at the Milwaukee Mile for both the truck and the nationwide races. man i had a blast there.

Answer 10

It is crazy, loud, fun, and hot (if its in the spring or summer).

If you have a seat in the middle of the row, it is difficult to get out of the row to use the restroom, becuase in most tracks, people bring coolers full of beer, and they will have to move them in order to let you by.

Answer 11

I'm sure it depends on the track and where you are sitting... The only Cup race I've attended in person was the 2007 spring race at Bristol.  Now, if you want noise, you've got it... 43 cars on a half mile track with 160,000 fans... THAT IS NOISE.....  But with Bristol you see all the action because it is right in front of you.  Also you will probably see several drivers as they are golf carted to and from the RV lot....

Get ready to do a LOT of walking... Also, get a scanner so you can listen in to the radio traffic of your favorite drivers....

Answer 12

It is the most amazing thing in the world!!! You feel the cars rumbling by, the sounds are to die for-you'll never hear anything like it again. People are amazing around you. The people don't care who you like...they just care your a NASCAR fan!!!! Everyone is nice to one another, you get a very big family atmosphere!! You can smell the racing fuel and feel the excitement for the entire week before the race!! Walking up to the track for the first time you get the little kid excitement on Christmas feeling!!! There are just too many words to describe the feeling!!!

Answer 13

I'm not sure since I never attended one.

But I <3 NASCAR!
