Just be sure to show up in your NASCAR licensed t-shirt, jacket, cap, beer mug, banner, sunglasses, decals and other stuff to show your support for your favorite driver and team.
My understanding is that in the old days, the NASCAR race cars were actually realistic representations of a hot model variant of what you could buy from a dealer.
Given what the cars look like these days, I have little interest.
