Thanks Flash! I do recall that the Atlanta race has been run on Monday more than once because of rain. So the plans right off will include staying Monday to watch the race if necessary. I will also be sure to hang on to that pamphlet about the exits too. Thanks so much for the info!!

Not sure what the seats are like at Atlanta, but at Michigan they are steel bleachers, so you may want to take a seat cushion.
If you plan on taking in your own drinks, check to see what size cooler or cooler bags you are allowed to carry, at Michigan they restict the size.
I have the perfect size bag which allows me to bring in 8 beers.
Sunscreen is a must, as well as earplugs.

I ran across this interesting bit of information today as I was taking my daily tour of the racing sites.

Four Tickets for One Low Price at Atlanta Motor Speedway during the Kobalt Tools 500 NASCAR Race Weekend
Atlanta Motor Speedway, Press Release

HAMPTON, Ga. (February 2, 2007) – Atlanta Motor Speedway has three spectacular ticket packages available for fans wanting more bang for their buck during the March 16-18 Kobalt Tools 500 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series race weekend.

Starting at just $88, fans can purchase a ticket to all four events at AMS including Georgia Power NEXTEL Cup qualifying under the lights on Friday, March 16. Immediately following the fastest qualifying session in NASCAR, the toughest trucks on the planet will hit the track for the American Commercial Lines 200 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race.

On Saturday, March 17, the action heats up as NASCAR’s rising stars and crafty veterans duel on NASCAR’s fastest track in the Nicorette 300 Busch Series race. Last year’s race was won by seasoned driver Jeff Burton, ending his 40-month Busch Series victory drought.

Sunday, March 18 will feature NASCAR’s best with the NEXTEL Cup Series regulars racing for 500- miles in the Kobalt Tools 500. The on-track action will be intense as teams work for a solid start to their 2007 championship campaign.

Single day tickets are available, as well as several weekend packages. Other options include the Winners Grandstand in Turn One which provides fans an excellent view of the frontstretch, the exit of pit road and the entrance of Turn One.

Sitting high atop the Winners Grandstand is Club One, a club-type atmosphere providing fans with a truly one-of-a-kind racing experience in a climate-controlled environment. Club One offers a premium menu, bar, theatre-style seating and a sight and sound observation deck on the roof for fans wanting to experience the race action outdoors.

For more information on seating options at Atlanta Motor Speedway, fans can contact the AMS ticket office at (877) 9-AMS-TIX, (770) 946-4211, at www.atlantamotorspeedway.com or through an authorized Ticketmaster retail outlet.

ear protection for your daughter, definately. Fanscan is worth it. Plan on a long slow ride out of there. I suggest that you plan on partying 3 hours after the end of the cup race, then go.

i am new to the races, ive been to two so far. pocono last july and just got back from daytona this year. My second race ever was an exciting one.

I have some serious questions about the best way to go about planning for these events. Especially, tickets, is there a schedule for when tickets for certain races go on sale? Is it even possible to get good tickets through nascar or are they always bought up by brokers?
