Tom Get to the track EARLY !!!! Some tracks aren't too bad with traffic, but most are slow to enter. If the race is around 1pm, try to get to the track by 9am or earlier. Bring munchies and drinks cause you can wait in line to get in for 2 or 3 hours. I was at POCONO a few weeks ago it took about 2 hours to get in. When I left, I moved 10 feet in 2-1/2 hours......what I usually do is check out all the driver "stuff" trailers and/or eat before you leave 'cause you gotta wait anyway.
I've been to several tracks, but not to Kansas yet, its a new track that is only about 2 years old. Where to sit is another question......people like to sit in different areas so its what you like which you can only get from 'speience as DW would say. I like to sit near the corners near the pit entry/exit.....turn 4 to pit entry is good....lots of action. Same on the turn 1 pit exit. I like to sit higher up......then you can see more action and track. But every track is a little different and where to sit will depent on the track. I used to go to Pocono, Daytona and Dover alot, and I found good places to sit. I am now trying to go to 1 or 2 new tracks every year until I get them all. Last year I went to Lowes Motor Speedway for the Coca-Cola 600...great track and great seats !!!. and I got out pretty fast too. You should get your tickets NOW by calling the track....checking the web. I think they are Kansas speedway.com. You can do a Google search or link from Nascar. I'd stay away from "Ticket" dealers as they get pricey. You should consider bying your tickets for NEXT year now. Same with hotels. Do not bring a big cooler either....they limit the size to about 4 cans only...no glass. I also try to go to a race that has several races in the weekend....some races are WC only, some are Busch only...some are WC and Busch....and some will have WC, Busch and Trucks !!!! My favorite is Trucks... the crowds are MUCH smaller, its easy to get tickets right at the track, the tickets are cheaper and the racing is GREAT!!!! lots of "rubbing" with up and comming drivers plus a few old timers. Sorry for the long off topic rant.....
