Great video Jaret! I’ve taken several people to their first race and they all were amazed at how much better it is in person. Most of them became fans of NASCAR from that point on. Your bodies natural reaction to loud noise is to pump adrenaline. So the speed, noise, color, huge facilities, huge crowds, smells, and unpredictability of a live race make it almost impossible to be bored. Buying or renting a scanner so you can listen to the team radios is a big plus over other sports too. The best advice I’ve heard for first-timers is to pick any 3 cars in the starting field and keep track of them as the race unfolds. That was they learn about comers and goers and race strategy. It also gives them some rooting interest right away.

In reply to Ghetto Streamlabs. My only argument would be people my age 30 and younger. Don't have the time or ability to camp at a track from Thursday to Sunday. If NASCAR Canada condense the entire weekend experience to say Saturday morning to Sunday evening. Squeezing in practice, qualifying, Trucks, xfinity , and cup into a single ticket perchase that is actually affordable for the average American. Then that to me is a winner. I also believe adding hotel rooms, or rental rooms at the track itself would greatly increase attendance. Make the fans never leave the property.

I think you’re right. Over the last 2 seasons I’ve taken close to 30 people to their first NASCAR race. I don’t think any of them have become hardcore fans, but they now know who the big name drivers are and have a general idea of what the sport is really about. And they all said it was a really fun experience that they would do it again.

I’ve always told my friends Formula Drift and Nascar have a similar vibe and I think this is why. Pretty much everything you said also applies to Formula Drift but I think they lean a lot more into the fact it’s better in person.

I went to Talladega in 2014 for the May race. Talladega is absolutely insane to go and see in person. The fans, the atmosphere, and the racing. 100 percent worth going there.

In reply to Rudy K. Yeah the constant airial shots are honestly pretty annoying especially after nearly every restart I get you can see more of the field that way but just because your seeing the action doesn't mean your seeing the action you know what I mean

I was at Pocono for my first ever in person race earlier this season and I 100% agree with everything in this video

The only thing I struggled with knowing the strategy, however, WHEN the next race comes around, I think I’ve got that figured out

I love the sound aspect. At the Indy RC this year infield at the end of pit road, you can hear them coming and then those amazing sounding downshifts.

I can’t wait to go to Dega and experience that full pack flyby

In reply to Rudy K. This is on point. You knew the first couple of laps was just going to be the ambient experience, as close as you could be to being there. FOX did a good job with Crank It UP in the early 2000s, too, which added to it.
