When you have pit pass, you get to walk down in the pits before/after the race where you get to meet and talk to the teams and sometimes the drivers. During the race you need to have a garage pass which are very hard to get if you don't know someone that knows someone. Also I have noticed that the NASCAR tickets run about the same price as the NFL, NBA, Baseball tickets, but once in the race, food and drinks are whole lot cheaper IMO. |
Hi, we had free tickets, but we didn't have any other passes. We were told to bring a small ice chest with a few snacks and drinks, as things were expensive. I have to say, I think I would have enjoyed it more if we did have passes that allowed us to walk around and see other things - although, there were tons to see and do as soon as you walked through the gates. I didn't realize what all a race consisted of and all the different people they get to come out and join in on the action. I think, too, we would have liked it better if we knew the people racing. We didn't really know who to cheer on because we hadn't followed Nascar. We picked the Chevy cars out, just because we both own a Chevy - crazy, huh? But hey, that is all we had to go on!
