Getting extremely jealous reading this thread. When the 2014 F1 calendar was announced we were all set for NASCAR at Texas then the US GP at COTA the following weekend. Sadly F1 moved forward so we ended up missing any NASCAR action. Gutted. We did go to watch drag racing at Texas Raceway, which was awesome, but not quite the same.
My vague plan is to do the Indy 500 in 2017 (Rechberg Hillclimb '15 and Japanese GP '16) and take in whichever NASCAR race looks the best from the weekends before and after. Really though Daytona, Talladega and Bristol are top of my list so will have to return on special trips at some point.
Really looking forward to hearing how you get along - please put up some words and photos after the event!

Starting to look at doing something similar myself. Dega, then the Indy 500 three weeks after. Thankfully the Americans don't do the whole 500 on one weekend, so there's something to do in between.
It's only an eight hour drive from Talladega to Indianapolis though... and the route goes straight through Nashville... hmmm...

I went to Bristol for the spring race a few years ago. Awesome - loudest place on earth! Take advantage of the radio/headset hire!!
We sat in the Earnhardt Terrace (opposite side to the start/finish), and did the whole weekend via Raceaway Hospitality. They organised everything, hotel, transfers to circuit, food & drink pre-race, had a few drivers come by and visit, all in all, it was a great weekend.
We're planning to take the kids next time, if we can get house/horse/cat/dog/etc sitters organised, we're going to do the Charlotte Speed Week - that's a lot of racing over the week, starting with a NASCAR Truck race on the first Friday - through the Spring AllStar Race the first Saturday night, finishing with the Coke 600 the next Sunday (Memorial Day - same day as the Indy500). There's lots of other racing going on mid-week, so it's a packed programme.

There's the traditional Saturday night short track racing at Indy Raceway Park (as I still remember it) that's been mentioned by Nigel Roebuck, Gordon Kirby et al.

Well am setting off for this weekends race, on Wednesday.
Hope you enjoyed it, I did watching on the telly although the last 20 laps were a bit odd - after 160 laps of traditional plate racing two and three wide, it all went single file and no-one seemed to want to go apart from Smoke.Good result though, and the crowd seem pleased.
