A few months ago, some friends, James and Dixie, invited David and I to the Duck Commander 500 NASCAR race at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, TX. I had never been to anything like a NASCAR race before. Since I loving experiencing new things, we said we would love to join them.

My Experience at the Duck Commander 500
I had no idea what I was getting into…Our friends are seasoned fans and had been many times before. The whole day was new to me: the rules, the culture and the full sensory experience. It amazed me that we actually felt the vibration of the cars go by, which was so cool! The race was unique because it was an evening race. The cooler temperature was great appreciated by everyone! The time of the day also affects the tires and how they grip the road due to the temperature of the asphalt. The cheap seats we purchased were just a few rows from the bottom at the first turn as the cars exited pit row. So when the cars entered back into the race, they accelerated right in front of us!
If you are a NASCAR novice like me, here are some tips for those who have never been before.
