I wish, but that's a track I haven't been to, but may do it soon.
How is the camping? Do you have hookups or do they come around with water, sewer sucker, etc.? Do you need a generator?
Big track also, about like Indy, you can't see the whole track. What is the best way to see the race?
Have fun, #78!

On a large UHD TV while sitting in your recliner.
I know a lot of people that do the "Infield Camping" routine. They wander through all the vendor booths, look at drivers and crews, watch the entertainment, then when it's time to race just go to their RV's and watch on TV. All the "experience" without the spilled drinks, people standing in front of you, stepping on your feet when headed to the restroom, etc. They even get to smell the burnt rubber while not missing any of the action.
FWIW, even the pit crews watch the race on TV so they can see all the action.
Only race tracks that are really enjoyable because you can see, hear, and even feel the action are the local 1/4-3/8 mile tracks.

NASCAR IS LIKE.......Pocono for example
Nascar is like any other sport. You like it or you don’t.
Personally....can’t stand golf, curling, tennis....but it works for others.
My buddy and I stayed infield at Pocono last year .....see Campground layout.
Thurs-Mon. Access to pits, free stadium seating except for big race.
Adavantage....just feet from entrance to Pit Row....from the rooftop, we saw exiting out of corner 2, short straight thru 3 and 1/3 of front straightaway.
We could see giant TV screen for accidents, highlights and IF/WHEN serious weather is in the area.

Have no desire to go to any races anymore. DW was a Winston Cup scorer back on the '90's. Worked for RCR mainly. Sport hasn't been the same since Feb. 18, 2001.
First race we went to was at Pocono in 1988. DW was 8 months pregnant with our son. Camped in her uncle's Class C between the tunnel turn and turn 3. GREAT view. But, like I said, have no desire to go do it again.

Went once, 20 years ago. Won't go back. Tri-Oval is too big. Can't see cars in the distance or up front straightaway as the drivers are too close to the wall. Television is the best view for that race. Pretty area though...

I would love to do infield camping at a good track. We will have to wait until we have the Class A for that!
