Stock Cars and MotorHomes: A Nascar Match Made in Sports Heaven
NASCAR,
the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, is America's largest
and arguably most popular motor sports organization. The body sanctions
around one and a half thousand races on over one hundred race tracks in
thirty-nine states, not forgetting Canada and Mexico. Perhaps the most
famous of the televised series include; the Bush Series, Craftsman Truck
Series and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. In fact, with the notable
exception of the National Football League, NASCAR receives better television
ratings than any other American sport.
It is easy to see why. The skilled drivers, the years of development time gone into the vehicles, the ever-present threat of a crash and with that the risk that all the hopes of the driver, the team and their fans will be dashed with just one wrong turn. However, for hardcore fans most of the pleasure that they get from this intense sport comes not from sitting in front of a television set and watching from a distance but from traveling to the heart of the excitement and planting themselves right in the middle of the unique, enjoyable atmosphere to see the races for themselves.
It is hard to imagine anything that could be done to make the NASCAR experience any more enjoyable for its fans. However, believe it or not, many would suggest that there is indeed a way and it takes the form of the luxury Recreational Vehicle (RV). Taking a motorhome to a NASCAR event provides an entirely different experience to that you may already be familiar with. The vast majority of tracks have some form of conveniently located RV or motor coach facility.
Introducing your motor home to the NASCAR experience can help involve a wider portion of your family and friends, giving the trip a much broader appeal. Let's face it, as implausible as it may seem, not everyone else is as thoroughly entertained by motor oil and engine noises as we are and it is unfortunate that this fact excludes many from what should be a very inclusive sport. By making the decision to take your motor home along with you to the track, you are providing yourself and your family/friends with a space to rest and relax. The great part is that you and the motor home you have chosen to use dictate the level of comfort that you will experience. As such you will know exactly what to expect with regards to accommodation. None of the horrors of camping, no risk of a hotel room from hell nor any arduous journey to the track from your home each day.
Very few people are lucky enough to live within a short drive's distance from a NASCAR track. RV facilities make it possible for you to take your second home with you, along with many of the creature comforts you are accustomed to.
Those that take RVs and MotorHomes to NASCAR tracks believe that the atmosphere is actually even better than in the main area. There is no need to worry about the behavior of other, less restrained fans. In short, you get to socialize with like minded people in a relaxed and secure environment. Add NASCAR to this mix and what more could you wish for?
