NASCAR is an exciting experience not only for the die-hard stock car fan but also for anyone who enjoys cars, competition and good old-fashioned family crowds. But to feel NASCAR, you have to go to the race. No one can quite describe the power of being near all that power and speed for you. So decide what you can spend, get out your wallet and set your mind to finding tickets that will personalize your NASCAR experience.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Determine what you are willing to pay. There are always tickets for sale. They may not be the best seats or the least expensive seats, or even near the grandstand--but there are seats.

  2. Step 2

    Visit the official website of NASCAR. The site posts schedules, locations, maps and rules for whichever track you are going to. They also sell tickets through this site. Face-value tickets start as low as $35, depending on how comfortable you want to be at the race.

  3. Step 3

    Check with national ticket brokers that specialize in sporting events. They usually are well-versed and knowledgeable about the venues they represent, where the best seats are located and rules and regulations of the specific track. For instance, if you are looking for seats for a day race at Phoenix International Raceway, you may not want them to face the afternoon sun. Professional ticket sellers can help you through these kinds of mine fields.

  4. Step 4

    Check local classified ads. In every major city, there is a Craigslist, which has a tickets category and is a good place to find great seats if you know where seats are located and how much they cost at face value. There is a risk associated with buying from people on Craigslist: you don't have any idea if they are honest. Be careful, or you may find yourself at the race with fake tickets.

  5. Step 5

    Head to the track on race day. There will always be someone who has more tickets than he can use and is offering them for sale at the track.

Tips & Warnings
  • Start your search early. Look ahead for races for better tickets and prices.
  • Check official NASCAR sites for possible fraudulent tickets.
