Thanks a lot for the advice and helpful links, my friends. I'll definitely use them. Michelle, snap some pix and email me with any NASCAR tips you may have for me. I'm going about 3 weeks after you.

Comfortable clothes and shoes, you will do lots and lots of walking. Baseball hat or visor and sunscreen, you will fry in the stands.

Wait - is Charlotte a night race also? Then skip the sunscreen.

I will definitely take lots pictures.

Laura hit the nail on the head...sunscreen, very comfortable clothes and shoes. I believe your race starts around 5:00, so you'll have sun from the time you get there (I'm assuming a few hours early) until 7:30ish. I've found that the area where all of the merchandise trailers are is like a tanning booth. Make sure you put on sunscreen!

I always layer up on clothes when I go. It could be 85F at the start of the race, but once the sun goes down, it gets chilly.

Also, be prepared to be sitting in the car for a while after the race. It takes a long time for 170,000 people to exit when they are all leaving at the same time! Most people fire up the grill and tailgate for a few hours after the race.

Boogity, boogity, boogity, Let's Go Racin' Boys!
