I've been to a bunch of tracks around the country, and this is one of my favorites to visit. The facility is very clean and there is a lot to do before the race. We bought tickets that were in the first row because it's easiest on my dad with his age, and we could still see the whole track!... More

This is a great track unless you are there for a Nascar race that is under rain delay. The only covering is underneath the bleacher seating, and therefore the rain still comes in through the slats and cracks. Unfortunately, Nascar waited roughly 7 hours to decide to hold the race the next day, so everyone was very cold and wet.... More

Nice race track. You can see the entire track from every seat. Lots of venues outside the track to look at pre-race. Clean, modern, easy parking. Food is a bit expensive, but since you can bring it your own food and beverages not much of an issue anymore. Traffic can be tough leaving, but that is to be expected with... More

I can't believe there are no NSCAR fans here on trip advisor! 90,000 fans and no report? I have to tell you, I've been on cruises, allinclusives, camping trips etc but this weekend was GREAT! It was the first weekend with the three pack at the speedway. We purchased a motorhome a couple weeks ago and even though we have... More

Took my dad to the races this last weekend. Had no problems getting in to the parking lots and area to walk for the displays was nice. Getting to your seat was something else. The stairs were MANY. After three days of racing you don't want to see stairs for awhile. Security people were pleasant and helpful. Went into the... More

The track itself was fine, but I've been to many, many sporting events and have NEVER seen worse traffic flow. It took us HOURS to get out of the parking lot after the race. It was an absolute nightmare. Also, the food was very expensive (expected) and tasted horrible (not expected). A very poor overall experience.

We had great seats for the Peak Anti-Freeze 300 night race, we had seats between turn 4 and the star finish about 21 rows up so we could see the entire track. It was my first Indy night race and was very pleased with the experience. Parking was free and only had a few mins walk to the track, remember... More

I have been to 6 current cup tracks and this one is the worst I have been to. The cops doing traffic here have no idea how to organize a cup race. There was no designated area for cabs for those of us heading back to the city. The track was nice but not nice enough or good enough racing... More
