I am wondering if there are any race chasers out there, like my DW and I? If so let us know. What tracks have you visited? Do you have any camping suggestions in those areas, and if you camped at the track, what are the best camping areas. We have been to Charlotte, Dover, and New Hampshire tracks so far this year. Will be returning to New Hampshire in September. Let us know about your experiences.
14 Tracks and counting. We love it.

I'm going to Brooklyn Michigan in august. Staying at a CG called Irish Hills Campground its on Hwy 12 a ways before the track but not to far away. Going with 2 good friends and their sons, should be a good time.

We've been to Daytona, Bristol, Talladega, Charlotte, LasVegas, California and because we lived in Phoenix for years we've been in that track many many times. Unfortunately, our favorite all-time best camping experience was in Talladega at a privately-owned park that just closed or I would suggest it. It was wonderful, within walking distance to the track, fenced, security, etc. etc. Bristol we stayed at a 'Hicks Farm' and it too was within walking distance. LasVegas and California we didn't take the RV. Charlotte we stayed at Tom Johnson's and at Daytona I can't remember the name but it was a ways from the track and we commuted back & forth.

Nascar appears to have it's own RV parks now.. NASCAR RV Resorts campgrounds, camping, day passes, rving
I'm currently staying at the one in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. The park is beautiful and just a short walk to the beach.

Management here seems to be quote poor however.. There seem to be big problems with check in (at least right now).. Most of it seems to surround the park models- people booked into the wrong units, the units are not cleaned properly between stays, and some of the employees here are just plain nasty! There was a cute talent show put on by the kids activity center- and after an old lady with the name tag Sandy went around and accused several people of a parking violation. Kept telling people she was towing them even after they said it wasn't their car.. Just weird!

It's been that way the whole time.. It's a shame that customer service is so bad- 'cuz the park and the seasonals here are absolutely wonderful. We got a buy one get one free week in the park model, but we'll probably try a different park.

Michigan parked just behind the pit stalls, Charolet Turn 3 infield fence, Pocono infield fence turn 2, and were on our way to Bristol in 2 days but we wont be parking in the infield for obvious reasons. I will let you know how the camping is down there. All of our races have been with Joel who owns starcoachracetours.com. He provides some awesome times and Prevost buses if you don't have your own.

We were at the June Pocono race as well. We had an AWESOME RV spot in the trackside lot between turns 2 & 3. We put ourselves on the waiting list for this area - hoping that we can get a spot in the next couple of years.

We weren't able to make the August race this weekend, but do have plans to go to both races next year, even if we can't get a trackside spot - there are always plenty of infield camping spots available!

Here's some of our photo's and video's from the June race Friday at Pocono Raceway | Our RV Journey

If/when you're heading to Pocono again, let us know. We always like to meet other iRV2'rs

We put ourselves on the waiting list for a Trackside RV spot for future races, but even if we can't get one for next year, there will certainly be spots available for infield camping.

What was kind of cool, any a little creepy, is the gigapixel camera that Pocono used during the June race. They released it after the race and you can zoom in to nearly *every* seat/location in the track and tag yourself. Well sure enough, the camera caught me on top of our RV, and the DW looking out the front windshield.

I was the event photographer for this event last weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. It was hot!!!! I thought I was going to fall out. 2 days in 105 degree temps is testing to say the least. Here are a few shots other than the ones of people sitting on the windows frames getting in the cars.
