I've been before, but now I prefer the view from my couch. The beer is colder, closer, and better quality, and the camera angles are better

Nope. But I hope the smell and the noise and energy & feeling when they rip by excites you to your core!

I went in 2005, and it was the most incredible spectacle/sporting event I've ever attended. I turned it off today when it began.

I went once. Dale (3) Earnhardt won.

Didn't see a need to go back, after that. Thank God.
