texas motor speedway questions

me, my buddy, and my two 10 year old twins wanna go. budgets for seats are 225.00 give or take. best seats,things to do at track, parking ect? it will be the april 13 at 7pm race. thank you all for the help who dat!!

On seats, your mileage will vary depending your budget. Obviously, the front stretch is the best because you can see all the pit road action (as well as the start/finish line - but that only matters for one lap).

But seats all around that track are good. You want to be be up quite a bit (not down near the bottom) to get the best sight lines. You don't want the top necessarily, because you want to feel the cars go by. So look for seats about halfway up the section, maybe a couple of rows higher than halfway.

do they race the saturday before the race?

Check the schedule. There are usually races the day before - whether its the Nationwide series (the series just below Cup) or one of the regional or truck series.

But if its your first race, IMO, don't go see the Saturday race. Wait and have your first experiences there in the full-blown grandeur of the Cup series. It's incredible. EDIT - My bad, I see you went to Talladega. You'll definitely love Texas - Talladega is great but it's so big that you can't really fully digest it all at the same time. With decent seats, you'll see everything at Texas.
