Nascar fans - Which race would you recommend?
 
We're in the beginning stages of planning a Nascar trip. We've been to Las Vegas and Charlotte (loved it!). We would appreciate your comments for best racing (weekend trip) and for a longer combined race/sightseeing vacation. Last year we combined the two in NC/SC and it worked out very well! We will consider all suggestions - have thought about Atlanta,Bristol,Homestead,Richmond - but would go to any of them! Best times of year or ideas of what to see/do would be most welcome!

I really love to see the overpaid, underqualified "oval goofs" on a real "road course"!

Bristol, go every time the green drops!

Not a bad seat in the house, however you may have a hard time getting one.

Bristol.

You don't need a seat, because you will be standing the entire time.

Go to the night race.

Yes, but you to have a seat to stand in, otherwise you will not be able to see. I liked it years ago when they had the old rock clift face over near turn two. Some drunk fell of and darn near killed us at the night race, heard a big thud and there he was. He got up as happy as could be, bet he was sore in the morning after hiting the pavement the way he did. Now its just one big bowl.
