A Sea of Campers at the Race Track
If you have a unit that’s self-contained, reserving a site and spending a weekend camping at the races is the best!
There’s no 🚗 traffic line ups to deal with and no early mornings trying to get to the track on time in 🛣 heavy traffic.
You can come and go to and from the race track at your leisure, with your 🎫 track entrance pass.
My wife and I have been traveling to this race track for years now, from out home in 🍁 British Columbia, Canada.
We’ve enjoyed ✈ flying down to Phoenix and staying at area hotels and in most recent years, also driving down in our 🚌 Class C Motorhome and camping out right at the track.
I must say, you just can’t beat staying at the track, for the weekend race events.
It’s so nice not having to worry about driving for the entire weekend racing events, having to buy groceries and much more!

What’s also great is that you certainly do not have to be a race fan like me to enjoy these exciting events.
The first time you attend a race, I am sure you will be asking yourself … “What Took Me So Long?” ❓
Attending Race Weekend In Phoenix 2019
Over the years, I have enjoyed introducing and taking various family members and friends to the races, for the first time.
Most of these folks are your typical devoted 🏈 Football [NFL] and 🏒 Hockey [NHL] fans and thought I was crazy going to stock car races, watching cars go round and round!
Well, when they arrived and experienced the excitement of premier level stock car racing, they were simply – Awe Inspired! 😲
When you experience these high powered race cars traveling inches apart at speeds of over 200 mph, it is simply exhilarating to witness for the first time.
What’s even more spectacular, is watching night races under the lights. This is becoming more popular at most premier race tracks these days, with drivers and fans loving it!
The sites and sounds at night are outstanding.
So What Is NASCAR Anyway You Ask? ❓
Well, NASCAR stands for;
National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing
This organization was founded back in 1948. Today, over 1500 races are held annually at over 100 race tracks all across North America.
With this many race times and dates held, stock car racing has become so popular, it is now the largest spectator sporting event in North America.

Today, an average crowd in attendance at a premier race event easily reaches over 150,000.
The overwhelming speed and thundering sounds of those high powered engines, the smells associated with racing, all add to the intense excitement of attending a live race experience!
Take along a pair of 📢 NASCAR Race Scanners or rent a set, which we now do for the weekend.
You can listen to the live race broadcasts that really add to the race excitement. You can also tune in to your favorite driver talking with his/her crew members.
What other sport can you think of that allows fans to do that? ❓

As mentioned, one of my favorite places to attend a race is at Phoenix International Raceway,located just outside the City of Phoenix, Arizona.
This beautiful facility that has been completely refurbished, is situated less than one hour from downtown Phoenix. It’s located in a beautiful Arizona setting, surrounded by hillsides and 🌵 cactus.
Below, I’ve listed the tracks official link to their website. 2020 was a very special season, as they hosted their first ever 🏆 Championship Race Weekend.
We’ve attended 2 Championship weekend events now and they were outstanding, with a total of 4 races throughout the weekend.
Another track we also have enjoyed attending race events is at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Be sure to check out my 📸 photos and 📹 video of our visit to that track taking in the 🚗 NHRA Drag Races.
What a thrill that was to see in person for the very first time! 😲
The Best NASCAR Races To Attend
We also have a NASCAR Sanctioned, premier stock car racing series. It’s the NASCAR Pinty’s Sponsored racing series here in 🍁 Canada.
Each year, I look forward to our annual trek to one of our favorite destinations in the U.S. We have enjoyed the racing experience for many years now, and will continue to do so for many more to come.
In past years, we’ve planned a number of family vacations, specifically around these special events.
One of our most exciting trips was attending a race held at the world famous 🏁 Daytona Speedway in Florida State. After the races and enjoying Disney World, we then set off on a wonderful 🛳 Caribbean Cruise.
It’s easy to plan and do both, making for a fabulous family vacation!
