Which Nascar Track for Newbies Martinsville or Dover?

Question

I'm planning on taking my husband to his first Nascar Race. Which track is better as far as seating goes? I'm thinking Dover, Martinsville, or Poconos since those are the closest

We want to see the whole track if we can.
Should the seats be up high?
In front of the pits? Start/Finish? On a turn?

This might be the only chance we get for a long time and I want it to be right...Help!

Answer 1

i would suggest either dover, martinsville, or bristol. good seats everywhere and you can see almost everything

pocono is like going to daytona or talladega, you can't see anything on the far side

Answer 2

Martinsville. That was my first race. You can see everything. Poconos I live by. You have to wait for them to come around, you dont see much. As for Dover, havent been there yet. I love Martinsville. Martinsville I sat right at the start finish line. Poconos, it was in the center of a turn and the start finish line. It really doesnt matter though cuz its NASCAR WOOOOHOOOO LOL.

Answer 3

DOVER has amazing seats no matter where you sit. Been there a few times, and the only bad thing about DOVER is sitting in Turn 3 in the lower stands. There is a bridge thing in the way and you loose them coming around turn 2.

TURN 2 Seats in DOVER ROCK!!!!!!!!! you cant see pit road, but who cares... most of the action happens in turn 2. that was the best seating i have had anywhere.

i agree with a lot of people about POCONO. the seats there arent great...since the track is 2 and a half miles around, you can barely see them for 1/2 the time. PLUS* pocono races seem like they last FoReVeRRRRR. Dover is more exciting.

Never been to martinsville, but since its a short track, im guessing any seats are amazing.

***HURRY with your dover TIX*** 198 days left till NASCAR sexy boys return to DOVER.

good luck have the best time.

Answer 4

I have been to Pocono, Dont go there. You can only see a part of the track. I cant vouch for Martinsville, because I havent been there. I have been to Dover and you can see the entire track unless you sit low in the stands. Dover also has higher banks and not as tight turns as Martinsville. So.. if you are more of the higher speed type races, I would definetly recomment Dover.. They dont call it the Monster Mile for nothing. If your into the short-track type of races, I would recomment Martinsville. Of cours Bristol would be better, for short-track type races, but Bristol is the hardest ticket to get in motor sports. Hope this helps

Answer 5

I have been to Pocono and Dover. Don't go to Pocono because you can't see anything. I thought Dover was good because you could see the entire track.I would get seats up high for an even better view. I have only been in the turns but I didn't really like them, I think in front of the pits or the strat/finish line would be much better.

Answer 6

DO NOT go to Pocono! I have been and you can't see anything!!

Dover is a great track if you can sit high enough to see everything.

I would reccommend Martinsville. A very historic track and an exciting short track. Tons of close racing and spins! You also can see the entire track very easily since it is only a 1/2 mile track.

Answer 7

If Martinsville is that close to you, drive another 2 hours and go to Bristol. There is nothing else like it on the circuit. 1/2 mile track that's banked for speed.

I have sat on row 7 in Bristol and could still see the action on the whole track. I have also sat in the Kulwicki Terrace which is between turns 1 and 2. Those seats were pretty high up, could see the whole track, but I still like to feel and smell the cars as they go by.

I would shoot for around row 30. You'll be able to see everything.

Also, start now, because hotels fill up soon and they do charge more for race week-end.

Answer 8

Of those 3 I would choose Dover then Martinsville. Dover has a bit better racing than M-Ville.

Have you considered a place like Atlanta or Charlotte?

Answer 9

Go to Martinsville because if you get seats a higher up near the start/finish line you can see everything. Martinsville is also a good track for "Newbies" because of all the bumping and hard nose racing. Pick this track, enjoy the race, and you will want to go back every year.

Answer 10

Either Martinsville, Dover, or Bristol...try to get seats up high somewhere near the start/finish line. You'll have the best view there.

Answer 11

so a techniques as i'm worried it is the perfect song. It takes me back to the days even as my father would take me round to the close by short tracks right here contained in the section contained in the previous due Nineteen Sixties, early Nineteen Seventies. Martinsville is the song that ideal represents the roots of Nascar racing. the really project i don't love about Cup races at Martinsville is the dimensions of the field. that is the single song the they could run 2 warmth races then the major. 40 3 autos are only too many in this song. in case you commence out aspect the great ten your possibilities of prevailing are narrow. a good purchase receives determined in qualifying, a similar because it does in street course racing.
