If I get to go, it will be my first time... a Nascar virgin if you will. I wanted to know what happens!

If this is your first time, make sure before you go that you go to the raceway's website and look for "driver appearances". Usually some of the driver's will be having autograph sessions at one of the local sponsors. You may also find this information on visiting a certain driver's website and looking under" appearances". They also have sponsor driver trailers that are set up outside the track that will list the date and time the driver will be at a certain trailer signing autographs. Make sure you get there early and you will probably have to stand in line for about two to three hours. It's worth it. Good luck and I really hope you enjoy your race. You will be hooked from now on.

Probably the closest you will get to the drivers is if you go to the driver introductions when they go across the stage before they take a lap around the track in the back of a truck. If you can still get pit passes that would increase your odds some. Don't get pit passes for Sunday's race though, the drivers and crew are way too busy getting ready for the race.

Well it depends on race day each track usually does similar things. You have some celebrities or other people you get to meet. Like I've met the Miami Dolphin Cheerleaders and Miss America and Seen Nick Lachey along with many other people. If you go to the track a day or two ahead of time and go to the memorbilia trailers there might be tickets to meet the drivers at their memorbilia trailers on race day . I have seen Kyle Bush Reed Sorenson Sterling Marlin JJ Yeley ect. also if you have seats in the suits up top in the buildings you get to meet the winning driver(im not sure if that is at every track though) , and if you have pit passes you might see some drivers. I have only seen one. It all depends on what tickets you have, and what tracks you go to . Before the race there are a lot of fan things to do like games and you get to look at cars and there is a band and you get a lot of free things (which is great). It is really fun. You will love it! Have a great time!

Usually a lot of different things are going on before a race. They may have concerts, depending on which track you are going to they may have a fan zone where you watch the cars go through inspection, or you can visit crew members on pit road. As far as the meeting drivers aspect, it is possible, but not probable, especially if you are going to one of the more popular tracks. Go to qualifying or practice Friday or Saturday and you'll have a better chance. Sometimes they'll have autograph sessions around the track so you might want to check your favorite drivers website. I've been to a couple of races and its awesome. Nascar Rules!

No, not most of the time. You can purchase a pit pass, where you can visit the drivers pit areas. I think you can purchase a ticket to have berakfast with some of the drivers the morning of the race.

Every track is different. When we went to the Indianapolis track we didn't get to meet any drivers, but we did see a lot of them fairly close up. You just have to be in the right spot at the right time. If you get to go - you will love it!

trouble with pit passes, unless you also have a hot pass you are not allowed in the pits after the race starts. drivers are not usually in the pits till race time.
