The stands between turn 3 and 4 generally offer a fairly good view of the entire track and is among my preferred spots when attending races at Sears. I beleive tickets out there for NASCAR are around $70.

In answered a similar question thus many moons ago:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=As6LX4Q1aOTV0BRhFkDOmvvsy6IX?qid=20060612091215AAM9Ujt&show=7#profile-info-2ce35b376fba1f48734882ee4179db83aa

"You can't see anything on a road course!" is one of the worst lies told by NASCRASH advocates. There are plenty of good road courses or hybrid-oval configurations that have good visibility. NASCRASH's best races *every* *year* are those at Sears Point and Watkins' Glen, so one has to wonder why Bill Frog - oops, French - won't put more races on road courses.

These are all excellent road courses in the US suitable for NASCRASH:
- Road America, Wisconsin
- Road Atlanta
- Sebring, Florida
- Mid Ohio
- Lime Rock, Connecticut
- Portland International Raceway (NASCRASH trucks race there)

And many ovals have excellent road course configurations, and the entire track is visible from the stands:
- Daytona (the Rolex 24 Hour layout, watch it in February)
- Homestead, Florida (its 2.2mi layout is completely flat)
- Indianapolis
- Phoenix
- Las Vegas
- Texas Motor Speedway
- Dover Downs (the oval sucks, but the road course is great)
- Pike's Peak

And even when they do look at road courses, they screw it up: they're talking about having a race at Ile Notre Dame on the Gilles Villeneuve circuit in Montreal. Canadians are road-course fans, especially the Quebecois; they won't watch it, and NASCRASH vehicles aren't suited to the track with it's hard braking and chicanes. If they must go to Canada, Mosport would be a far better choice.

Have a look here for existing road courses in North America:

Go ahead and opt for grandstand seats that offer a view of the DiamondVision (or whatever brand is put out there) screen that has the network feed. You get a view of the track in person and the areas you're not otherwise able to see.

Personally, the best view is behind the wheel, on the track. Been there, done that a couple times in open-wheel (Formula Ford) and stocks (Vintage racing)... just not in a Cup race.

Well I would expect alot of Jeff Gordon fans since he has won thier 5 times and has 9 road course victories along with that he is the defending champion of 2006 and he is a really good road course driver and almost better then the experts themselves. Also you could probably get a pit pass for qualifying as its really hot and no one goes to qualifying there for some reason but if you can duke it out you might be able to get some autographs, and then as for price no tickets are ever cheap but since its a road course their are numerous places to sit I would recommend probably the start/finish line or the turns as thats were alot of the action happens. As for what to expect have alot of cash because drinks are going to be expensive and eat and or tailgate if you can before hand and make sure remember where you park because your going to be in traffic a really long time and I recommend finding an alternate route other than the interestates as people dont think about that instead of searching for alternate routes because the interstates will be packed. Also dress comfortably and its in the summer so bring a hat and sunscreen and t-shirts and shorts are you best option or a tank top whatever just be cool and expect to be there all day. Hope that helps.

The best seat to view a race at Sears Point (Infinion) is your couch. No mater what section you get a ticket for, you can only view a small portion of the track.

Tickets should run you about $100 if you decide to go. Do youself a favor and spend the extra travel money, Pheonix is not a bad race to attend.

Ticket Prices at Infineon Raceway range from $10.00 to $140.00. Most people that I know that go to this race try to get seats in the Turn 9 stands. It gives you the best view of the back stretch and front stretch and Possibly the uphill section ()

First off you need to get the heck out of California if you want to see a good NASCAR race. Sears Point (as I still call it) and the California Speedway are the two worst tracks on the circut.

Depends where you sit men I mean if you get up on one off the hills and not sit in the grandstands and bring binlcars you can see the whole track but if you sit on the frontstraighty grandstands the view is not great but there is a big titatron so you can see the whole race.

small visibility and high price. Road courses are much better on TV. Darlington is the best track i've been to, and i've been to 15 Nascar tracks.
