I sure hope Kenseth can build on the Daytona 500 win. I've thought about going to a Nascar race for years. Has any PR been to one? Are they a lot of fun? They stop in Joliet every year for the Chicagoland race.
LL2, its a tailgate party that lasts a week! Its a great time! I've only been to Michigan which is out in the middle of nowhere. its a two lane road that leads to the track that is in the middle of farm fields. if you don't plan to spend the night, plan on sitting for 3 hours after the race before traffic clears up. Joliet is a similar track. I've driven past it a few times. not much around it either, but at least there are major roads to get you in and out. problem is, I believe you need to buy the a full season at the track in order to get the cup race. Michigan lets you buy just the cup race.
