Attending a NASCAR Race: Nascar Sponsors

Attending a NASCAR Race: Tips for Choosing Your Overnight Accommodations

Are you interested in attending a live NASCAR race? If you are, you will want to start examining all of your options as soon as possible. While a great deal of your focus should be placed on the specific NASCAR race that you would like to attend, it is important to also examine your overnight accommodation options.

Speaking of examining your overnight accommodation options, this is exactly what you will want to do. All NASCAR fans have a large number of options when looking to attend a long distance NASCAR race or when looking to make a fun filled weekend out of the event. To ensure that you choose the accommodations that are best for you and your needs, you will want to examine all of your options. To help you get stared, a few of those options are highlighted below for your convenience.

Hotels are, by far, the most popular overnight accommodation for NASCAR fans who attend races. Hotels are nice in the fact that they are relatively affordable and hassle free. Also, most NASCAR tracks have a large number of hotels located close by. Still, with that said, you will want to make reservations quickly. Hundreds of thousands of fans attend most NASCAR races and, as previously stated, many choose to stay at hotels. If this is your preferred method of stay, be sure you are able to get your reservation in before all nearby hotels are filled to capacity.

In addition to hotels, bed and breakfast inns are a great option for NASCAR fans who are looking for a hassle free stay. They are a great option when local hotels fill up, but you will still want to make your reservations well in advance. This is due in part to the fact that most bed and breakfast inns are relatively small in size. Inn are a popular option for many travelers, as they always have a nice, home like look and feel to them.

RV parks are another popular overnight accommodation option for NASCAR race fans who own motor homes. RV parks are public campgrounds that cater to motor home owners, often with larger rental spaces. Since a large number of NASCAR fans are also motor home owners, reservations at local RV parks are likely to quickly fill up. For that reason, and as with all other overnight accommodation options, be sure to book your reservations well in advance of your trip.

In keeping with staying at a motor home park, many NASCAR fans believe that they cannot do so because they do not own a motor home. Yes, RV parks are designed with motor homes in mind, but did you know that owning isn’t your only option? It isn’t. In the United States, there are a relatively large number of RV rental companies. By planning ahead, you can rent an RV and turn attending a live NASCAR race into so much more, like a long distance road trip or a camping adventure.

Although RV rentals make motor homes available to many NASCAR fans, others are still concerned with the cost. If that is the case with you, you may want to examine traditional public campgrounds. These are campgrounds that not only accept campers in motor homes, but those using tents as well. Most NASCAR races take place in warm weather, especially in the south. For that reason, the weather for the NASCAR race that you would like to attend may be perfect for a camping adventure. Generally speaking, camping is typically the most affordable overnight accommodation for NASCAR fans.

As highlighted above, you have a number of overnight accommodation options when looking to attend a NASCAR race. As a recap, popular options include hotels, bed and breakfast inns, RV parks, and public campgrounds. Whichever option you choose, be sure to make your reservations well in advance, as they are usually more race fans looking for accommodations than there are rooms or camping spaces to go around in the near vicinity of a racetrack.

What We Are Working On

Well,I just finished a post on another topic and somehow I did not save it or publish it. Another lesson learned about saving the info before you think you are making a post.

The topic I thought I had posted was on what we are trying to accomplish and what has happened the last few days.

A couple of days ago I received a comment from Marc at FullThrottle that I did not have permission to post his article on the Nascar Car-Of-Tomorrow. He was very professional about it and told me to get it off this blog, what you do with articles written by other people and what to look up to learn about using other people's work.

I was wrong as he pointed out even though I had given credit to who wrote the article and where I got it from. My intent was not to steal other people's work and pass it off as my own. Yet, I am responsible for what goes on this blog and so I accept the blame for what was done.

I apologize to Marc and thank him for setting me straight.

Lesson learned.

I also took down the article on the Jimmy Johnson Intervies as well as the story about knowing Dale Earnhardt Sr. (These 2 articles were also given credit to their Authors and where they were found.)

I did not expect that the first lesson learned was about stealing other people's work but I believe the problem has been corrected.

I will now move forward with the original goal of forming a team to develope a winning Nascar Nextel Cup Racing Organization.

I will start posting with more specific details about what we are doing, what needs to be done and how people can get involved, in the next posting.

Again I apologize to anyone I may have offended or hurt.

Nascar racing and Our Open Business Model Part 2

This is our second post about notes we have taken about the concept of the Open Business Model and how it could be used in our Nascar Team Organization. This allows anyone that wants to contribute to the team to get involved and share their thoughts, feelings and knowledge with us.

We will start posting comments on many of the notes and explain in more detail how they can be used in our organization.

Thanks for your time

Doug

Employees drive performance by collaborating with peers across organizational boundaries, creating what we call a “wiki workplace.”

So-called supply chains work more effectively when the risk, reward and capability to complete major projects-including massively complex products like cars, motorcycles and airplanes, are distributed across planetary network of partners who work as peers.
