NASCAR
The National Association for Stock
Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is the largest sanctioning body of
motorsports in the United States.
The three largest racing series sanctioned by NASCAR are the
NEXTEL Cup, the Busch Series and the Craftsman Truck Series. It
also oversees NASCAR Regional Racing, the Whelen Modified Tour, and
the Dodge Weekly Series.
NASCAR sanctions over
1,500 races at over 100 tracks in 38 states, Canada, and Mexico. From
1996 to 1998, NASCAR held exhibition races in Japan, and an exhibition
race in Australia in 1988.

According to NASCAR, about 6,000
US gallons of fuel is consumed during a typical NEXTEL Cup
weekend. For the 2006 season, which includes 36 points races, the
total for the season would be 216,000 US gallons. |
A Fan's Checklist Of
What To Bring To A NASCAR Race
By: Bob Johnson
If you're planning to attend a NASCAR race, then you can
probably expect to spend a day at the track. There's nothing worse
than being unprepared for any outing, so consider a small checklist to
make the day a fun-filled event. (You can buy NASCAR TICKETS at
most online ticket brokers.) |

* Be sure to wear comfortable shoes because you will be doing a lot of
walking. On a normal day, fans can expect to be at the track for a
minimum of five to six hours and, depending on your seat location,
there are stairs to climb and you will definitely want to have a
comfortable pair of walking shoes.
* Always bring a small umbrella or rain poncho - just incase those
storm clouds decide to roll in during race time. If this should
happen, the race will likely be stopped until the rain passes over and
the track is dried. You'll want to be dry while you wait for the race
to resume. Purchase the smallest umbrella possible and tuck it in a
purse or a pocket. There's no need to carry a large, bulky umbrella
around all day - especially if it ultimately isn't needed. As a race
fan, you're always hoping for a sunny day, but it's good to be
prepared. If there‘s a chill in the air, bring a light jacket.
* Remember to bring plenty of drinking water. Bottled water is ideal,
convenient and really hits the spot on a hot summer day. Keep in mind
that racetracks are large and, as mentioned previously, there is a lot
of walking involved. From the time that you arrive, climb the stands
and find your seat, fans are looking at a potential 30 minute walk or
more. Avoid the temptation to poor the water over your head and save
it for drinking.
* A snack is always a good thing to have on hand during raceday. Who
wants to leave their seat when a hunger pain hits? Save yourself the
time and pack a sandwich or candy bar from home. Don't forget the hand
sanitizer or soap, too!
* Keeping in mind that attending a live event is different than a
televised event is essential. Many of the luxuries of watching at
home, on television, are absent at a live event. Sitting in the stands
will leave you without the commentary, so consider a scanner and
headphones. A list of driver frequencies are available at most tracks,
which will enable you to hear the spotter and driver communicate with
one another during the race.
* Be sure to bring a camera and several rolls of film. If you're using
a digital camera, be sure that you have several brand new back-up
batteries incase yours runs down through the course of the day.
Before you close that suitcase, there's just a few more small items to
remember. If you have a pit pass, bring along a small notebook for
autographs. Consider bringing some cash, but not too much, for a visit
to the many souvenir trailers lined outside the track. A final check
should reveal that you've packed a pair of sunglasses and, if you're
seated high in the stands, grab a pair of binoculars and bring the
action up close. After all, if a race isn't close - what's the point?
Have fun.
