TIPS FOR THE RACE WEEKEND

Here are a few handy tips to help you get the best experience during your visit to Chicago for the NASCAR race weekend.

• First tip: arrive early. This is especially important on race day, particularly Sunday. It’s much better to soak in the race-day atmosphere at the track than to be stuck in traffic or long lines. Try to get to the venue by around 10 a.m. on race day.
• Attention  –  you’re not allowed to bring your own food and drinks to the track. 
• Think ahead about your trip to the track. Chicago traffic can be heavy, so plan your route and parking in advance. If possible, book your parking spot ahead of time.
• Prepare for hot weather! 
• Know your plan for the day. Decide which areas you want to explore. If you’re going with friends, keep in mind that cell networks can get overloaded on Sundays, which might make calls or internet access unreliable. It’s smart to agree on a meeting point in case you get separated.
