I'm so glad that you had a good time. It is awesome that your wife and you get to see the same race fans twice a year!

I agree Nascar fans are the most awesome people! Cheers!

For those who never heard about me, I'm 25 years-old and I'm from Italy.

This summer I spent my holiday in New York. It was the first time in the United States and let me tell you I had such a great time!

Since I was there, I decided to see a Nascar race, and Watkins Glen International wasn’t so far.
With the help of NascarSpace I made this possible (thanks again).

The closest hotel that I found was in Cortland (about 1 hour from Watkins Glen).
Cortland is a wonderful place! Very quite and very beautiful.
Plus the people are amazing (I just want to say thanks to the people I met at “Dark Horse Tavern” for the great time).
I hope to go back there one day.

What can I say about the race? Wonderful!
I saw also the Bush Series on Saturday, it was cool too.
The most beautiful thing is that you can go everywhere inside the track before the race. This is cool because you can meet such funny people!

And you can't even imagine how fun it is to see a live race with other people, and hear all their the comments during the race. Nothing compares to that!

Just one think: be carefull with the beer (if you have to drive).

At the end of Bush race, the cops didn't want to let me to drive because they thought I was drunk (which I wasn't).
Fortunately at the end it turned out that I wasn't drunk and they let me use the car! It was funny.

There wasn't so much traffic on Saturday.
But on Sunday, after the race, my God! 3 hours and a half to come back to Cortland! There was a time I thought I'd never reached my hotel!

Almoust forgot: I posted some pictures in the Nascar Gallery (in the User's Gallery).
Tell me what do you think.

See you!

Thank you so much for letting us know about your weekend. I have seen all your pics in the Gallery. WOW!! You did have a good time!

I went to Texas in 2000, and as always whenever I go to Dallass metro area I stay for as little time as possible.

Thinking about going to Daytona for the Firecracker 400.

Just went to the Texas race. Will be going to Daytona then on to the Homestead race later this year. Sure I will be going to some others before that though.

The pass says you cant wear opened toed shoes or tank tops. I usually wear skirts and heels, so I dont know what to wear in the pits, can you help?

Every year we always go to both Richmond races and both Martinsville Races. Then we usually pick a track we havent been to last year it was Bristol this year its Dover June race.

I can't wait this year has been exciting already.

Hello all,

This is my first post on this site. I am on several other site, but thought I would try this one.

We are getting ready to go to Dover for the truck race on Friday. We love to go Friday, see trucks, cup and nationwide,plus we can park on the pavement. We sit right where the cars come out of the cup garage, so we can see evrything. I get to my seat at 9 am and do leave till the race is over. There is a very clean bathroom right there, so I just love it. My husband sleeps in the truck, while I sit in the stands. He comes out every now and again to make sure I food and drink.

I've heard other tracks promoting discounts/specials on tickets and or package deals...like at Charlotte tickets/vendors for food and hotel etc....some friends of ours is going to Lowe's and they got super ticket prices for 3 days of racing.....Michigan on the other hand...still the same....the only thing that I seen that was giving the average Joe a break was the vendors/trailers for the teams...discounts or special buys on combo. packages of Merch....the tickets and the food prices were still the same....no help there for those of us that would've or could've used a little help....our gas prices were still around $3.89 a gallon and up in our area of the country. I still would like to see a nascar race some day at Michigan...but for now I can only afford to watch the Busch race. It's only going to get worst.....because in Michigan and Ohio and Indiana we are seeing more jobs being lost....more homes being foreclosed etc., If you want people to come and watch Nascar, more tracks like Charlotte (Lowe's) are going to have to step it up.... I've been to Lowe's once and would love to go back again someday and if he keeps doing what he's trying to do for the Nascar fan...When I able to go to a Nascar race, I'll be going there before going to another track that isn't willing to help us out....Lowe's Thanks for thinking of the working class/Nascar fans....Our hats are off to you...
