How far?

[Biggreen695]

Have you traveled for a nascar race before? Just off season curiosity.

Rockingham is 10 minutes from my house, darlington is an hour and the furthest I have traveled is 2 hours to Charlotte.

The idea from this came from someone posting that they are going to the all star race next year as well as Las Vegas. Regardless of where that guy lives for at least one of those races he’s going a long ass way!

I drove to Road America last year from Maryland and to Daytona from Pennsylvania. But I'm a track chaser I try to go to as many tracks as possible. I made a 5+ hour 1 way drive to Southern National and back in 1 day earlier this year.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

The furthest I've driven is from Houston, TX to Las Vegas --- about 1500 miles.
The furthest I've flown to a race is about 1500 miles --- Houston to Dover.

Furthest we've driven to a race is roughly 1,100 miles from Wichita, KS to Charlotte. We once drove 1,600 from Wichita to Concord, NH but on the way, decided we wanted to explore New England instead of going to the race. We decided if we ever do go to a race that far, we will fly as it was a bit too far of a drive for us.

[sdj]

Charlotte coke 600, 15 times from Central Florida

 

[Daytripper]

Only been to Pocono twice which is about a 2 hour ride for me.

 

[Formerjackman]

Longest "one day" race trips was Fort Wayne to Pocono (560 miles). Left work at 5 PM Wednesday, got to the track at sunrise Thursday to unload the hauler. Ran two races in three days, left the track around 5 PM Saturday night, crawled into my own bed 7 AM Sunday morning. I also drove straight through from Talladega to Fort Wayne, (650 miles). Both pale compared to my longest single day drive, 990 miles, Fort Wayne to Dallas.

 

[donthaveanickname]

The only Cup race I ever attended was at Pocono which is exactly 4,031 miles from where I live.

Out in the middle of no where! They did have a great seafood restaurant a short drive away, cant remember the name of it but Don Arnold took us all out.

I was still working and I made the huge mistake of deciding to drive the motorhome down. I thought I had driven to the end of the earth. Learned my lesson

You get to the Florida border and think you’re close... nope.

Makris. One of the few places drivers and crew can eat in peace without "fans" pestering them. That has been a longstanding unwritten rule there. They usually supply 'Loudon'' the lobster trophy...
The food is really good..

 

[Magicmiler]

Southern Rhode Island to Bristol. Around 720 miles each way, but we'll worth it !!!

 

[KTMLew01]

From bedroom to recliner.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

What happened?

Joke. I was implying we'd spent so much time at the track that they didn't recognize us. Sorry it fell flat.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

You get to the Florida border and think you’re close... nope.

Even worse if you're coming in from the west and get to go through the panhandle.

 

[BobbyFord]

My buddy @Clutch travels over 6,000 miles every year to hang out with us at ACS and LVMS.
