People. NASCAR is the hidden jewel of America. To come to the heart of the heartland and experience a day on the track; will have you wondering why you took up 14 other hobbies before this. Once you make what feels like a 2 mile walk to the speedway, you’ll realize you can’t actually be a real fan unless you have an obscurely colored graphic Tee that has a mans face and name plastered on the front of it. Nothing about his physique will say ‘athlete’ but trust me. He is one. Buy the shirt. It’s how you become an insider. Once you get into the stands you will probably see everyone else wearing earphones or headsets. At this point you’ll look like the novice who didn’t know what they were doing by coming today if you don’t have a pair to cover the ol drums with - or you’ll be on par with the crazy uncle that’s been going to every race since 83’ and doesn’t wear ear protection. He might be crazy... but he also swears that hes best friends with Richard Petty because he met him one time at a casino.... You’ll probably want to err on the side of headphones. In fact I’d say go ahead and drop the 50 or 60 bones to get the headset. You won’t have a clue what’s going on unless you can listen to the tv broadcaster describe the race. All in all. Everyone could use a little more NASCAR in them.

Kansas Speedway is a great track to watch racing. Track visibility is good, if not great, from any seating area. When the weather is right, this is a phenomenal track to spend an afternoon at. The concession lines were outrageous, I spent over 45 mins waiting for a beer and a burger, watched entire stage 2 from the food line on one of the TV screens, I know attendance has been limited but that was ridiculous. As a NASCAR fan for many years and a guy that's been goin racing just as long, I can say that the FanWalk is pointless. The track staff is going to shuffle you to the infield and you'll be stuck walking through the very controlled areas where there's a nice big fence between you and everything you'd like to take pictures of. You won't get anywhere near the garage and you can barely see the pit areas. When fanwalk time is up you'll get herded back to the stands like cattle and you'll never have gotten anywhere near a race car. Once upon a time getting infield was awesome, but these days it's just a waste of money and effort.

This was my first time at a Nascar event. Went with a friend to enjoy the race. We had a great time. Parking was free (in the grass), it was a nice long walk to the front gate...but they had carts for those needing a ride up there. Make sure you bring hearing protection, although they do offer it, just not sure how much. They had variety of food and snacks, kind of pricey, but I suppose that is the norm at any other event. You are permitted to bring in "soft coolers". There was so many people there, yet every seat was great. I saw tires busting, cars crashing, absolutely AMAZING driving skills! I dont consider myself a big Nascar fan, but wow, at the end, it was a rush of excitement with the drivers' and their competitiveness. Can see how people get hooked. Thank you for the awesome experience! Will be sure to come back with friends and family. Congrats to #11, a job well done!
