All-star race week/Coca-Cola 600 LMS Charlotte - Discussion & pictures from race
Adventuredaz:
Thought I would go ahead and kick off discussion of All-star week in Charlotte with this opportunity I have to attend one of the races.
For years I have wanted to attend a race - really any stock car race but Nascar in particular. I missed about every opportunity I have had. I lived a number of years near a DIRT track and a drag race strip and have lived in NC 15 years yet still unable to pull it off. The other day my Dad called and said he wanted us all to go to either the All-star or Coca-Cola 500 and to see what I can do about my schedule. While I think the All-star race would be great, I am leaning towards the 500 for scheduling purposes (I think I can get away with it.) I am working out the work schedule right now. If it works out I doubt I can top AuntJewel’s pictures But I will do what I can. Anyone ever been to Charlotte? My parents go all the time so I guess they know the ins and outs at the track. Also curious if you’re voting on the All-star – Who’s your pick?

Hope the sceduling works out. Have a great time. I really don't follow racing. We did get to Louden, NH one year. We saw some of the NASCAR qualifying (for the next day) and a Busch Series Race.
And everyone...good luck with your picks! :trophy:

OOOOO I am so excited for you Adventure! To go to either race would be spectacular. I can't wait to see the pictures. :) I too would have a difficult time choosing one race over the other. I would imagine that the all star race would be more for the fans, and the drivers may be more relaxed since the race is not a points race. But the coca cola race is such a big deal too. I have only been to Infineon and now Daytona so I can't help you with the Charlotte layout.
As far as the all star race goes I would really be hoping for Mark Martin to win it. I would love to see him get one more win before he retires. Have a great time Adventure!! :trophy: :woot: :wavet: :yes!:

I have never gotten into racing as much as others, I am more on the fringe of it. I guess from my inexperienced point of view, I would choose to go to Charlotte, simply because I see it as one of the iconic race tracks. If I had the chance to go to Charlotte, Talladega, Darlington, or Daytona, I would go simply because I might not ever get the chance again.

The Coca-Cola 600 is the longest race of the year... But, the all-star race, is almost always exciting due to the lack of any championship points consequences. :hmmmm: Tough Choice!!! Hope you make it to one of them.
