The 2018 NASCAR season is here, and as the saying goes, “all roads lead to racing.” With that in mind, let’s take a look at one of the most popular stock car races of the year: the Auto Club Speedway 400. This is one of the most important races on the NASCAR calendar, and for good reason: it’s a lot of fun to watch and a great opportunity to witness some incredible racing. The main event is traditionally one of the most popular and exciting races of the year, and with good reason: it’s extremely gratifying to witness an amazing performance and know that you contributed to that outcome by placing a bet or raising a virtual finger at the right time. This is one of our favourite NASCAR races, and it gives us the chance to introduce you to some of the best seats at the venue. Let’s take a look together.
The First Row
The main problem with traditional spectator sports is that they are generally fixed in one location. While that can be great for those who can access them, it’s not so great for those who can’t. One of the best things about NASCAR is that it is a sport that allows for virtually anyone to follow and participate in the action. Thus, if you miss a race, you can always catch it online or on TV. The downside to this is that the closer you get to the action, the more expensive the tickets become. Fortunately, the Auto Club Speedway offers some of the best seats in the house. Located in the infield of the speedway, these are the perfect seats for fans that can’t afford to miss a moment of the action.
The first row at Auto Club Speedway is known as the infield. This is where all of the action happens, and it’s also where all of the fans are. As such, the first row is generally the best seat in the house. Aside from being close to the action, the view is also spectacular. From here you can see almost the entire track, and it’s a great place to get a panoramic view of the entire race. The downside is that these seats are usually taken, so you’ll have to fight your way to the front if you want to sit there.
The Second Row
Moving down a bit towards the backstretch, we reach the second row. This is another great place to be, as far as the view is concerned, and it also offers some of the most comfortable seats in the house. The general rule of thumb at NASCAR races is that the further back you go, the better the seat. Unfortunately, like the first row, the second row is also generally taken, meaning that you’ll have to fight your way to the front for the best view.
The good news, however, is that if you are in a budget and want to save money, the best option for you is the second row. This is because the second row is generally where all of the corporate boxes are, and therefore, all of the most expensive and exclusive seating is located here. While it might be a bit far to call these seats luxury boxes, they definitely offer a different experience. The second row also affords you a greater degree of privacy, which is nice if you want to get some fresh air or perhaps even take a nap during the race. Another plus to the second row is that as the name would suggest, these seats offer a view of the backstretch. Thus, if you are into tactical napping, this might be the seat for you.
The Third Row
Now, if you are looking for a more traditional sports experience, you can head to the third row. This is where all of the football, basketball, and baseball teams play, so it’s pretty popular with spectators. The problem with this area is that unless your team is doing well, you’ll probably have to sit through a lot of boring games. The good news, however, is that you can reserve these seats in advance, if you know what game you’ll be going to. The worst case scenario is that your team loses and you have to pay for a new pair of shoes.
The good news, however, is that you can get a good view of the entire stadium from the third row. The problem is that unless your team is doing well, you’ll probably have to fight your way to the front to get a good view of the game. If you want to catch a game, but can’t afford to spend the whole day at the stadium, these are the best seats for you. Just make sure that you get there early enough to secure a good parking spot.
The Grandstand
The grandstand is located behind the third row and is another great place to be. As the name would suggest, the grandstand is an area where all of the fans congregate, either in person or online. The best seats in the grandstand are in the upper deck, and from here you can see the entire track. The problem is that unless you want to sit through a ton of boring games, these are the most expensive tickets in the house. While it might be tempting to buy these to catch a game, keep in mind that the best view is from the third row or the infield. If you absolutely must sit here, you might as well save your money for food and drink as these tickets are quite the expensive luxury.
The good news is that if your team is doing well, you can get a good view of the entire track from here. This is because the upper deck is generally where all of the corporate boxes are, and if your team is doing well, you’ll have plenty of money to spend on luxury. As such, if you want to catch a game and don’t want to miss anything, these are the best seats in the house. Just make sure that you get there early enough to secure a good parking spot.
The Loft
The end zone and the upper deck at a baseball game are pretty similar, and for the sake of this article, we’ll consider the end zone to be the part of the stadium that is in front of the grandstand. The upper deck at a baseball game is where all of the fans are, and from here you can see the entire playing field. While it might be tempting to spend a lot of money on these seats, the fact is that unless your team is really doing well, you probably won’t enjoy yourself very much. After all, it’s tough to feel like you’re at a game and not at a comedy show when the team you root for loses every single game.
The good news, however, is that if you are in a pro-sports stadium and want to catch a game, these are the best seats for you. The upper deck at a baseball stadium is where all of the fans are so unless your team is doing well, you’ll probably get a lot of grief from the other fans. For those who want to feel like they’re at a game and not at a comedy show, these are the best seats in the house. Just make sure that you get there early enough to secure a good parking spot.
What About Food And Drink?
We mentioned earlier that watching sports is often a team event. This is especially true at NASCAR races, where everyone meets after the game for some food and drink. As such, if you are going to a game, it’s best to bring your own food and drink with you. Ideally, you’ll want to sit down with your fellow fans and catch some football, baseball, or basketball games. If you are into racing, however, you might as well save your food and drink for the post-race festivities. In this case, you might want to consider bringing a picnic with you.
As for the food and drink at NASCAR races, unless your team is doing well, it’s best to avoid the luxury packages. Instead, sit down with your fellow fans and grab a bite to eat. As for the best seats at NASCAR races, we mentioned earlier that unless your team is doing well, it’s best to avoid the upper deck. Instead, sit down with your fellow fans and get some food. If you are into food truck trucks and want to try something new, you can find a variety of trucks selling all sorts of delicious and mouth-watering food. Be sure to try a dessert from each truck to get a taste of everything. Just remember: while the infield has the best view, the grandstand area is warm and comfortable, and it’s the place to be when your team is winning.
