4.5 (136 reviews) Sunday: Spent Ranking #4 in Joliet Auto Racing Tracks
Great day
My husband and I had our first NASCAR experience on sept 16th at Chicagoland speedway. We arrived early in the morning, and glad we did. Driving to the track is super easy everything is well marked. Leaving the parking lot afterward is a little more hectic but that is to be expected at any sporting event. Lots of people tailgating make it a fun atmosphere. Once up to gates there is PLENTY for everyone to walk around and have fun stuff to see and do! We had bought pit passes as well which was well worth it this year. We were able to see the cars up close my favorite was th Luke Bryan concert before hand again with the pit passes you were right up close it was great! A big thumbs up to the speedway this year for letting people be down and up close for drivers introductions this made my husbands day. While I was watching concert he stayed behind stage area and ended up getting to stand in one of the guys pit box which is where the drivers entered to get to the staging area. He was in heaven having people like Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, and many of the other drivers just inches from him visiting with the crowd and signing autographs before they went to stage!! Only bummer he is a huge Dale jr fan and they ushered him in another way :( When that was all said and done we had seats 43 rows up on start finish line. These seats were perfect you could see the whole track pit boxes and u had the shade from the sky boxes it was great! I must say it was a very fun day and from what I understand a lot of changes were made this year for pit passes and single day tickets things like that. In my opinion these were all upgrades well worth it! Keep up the great work Chicagoland speedway!!!

yearly seat fans
we had 2 seats up in the stands with our family's names on them for many years.We tailgated with friends before and after races. It was the fun thing to do in the Chicagoland area. Dont get me wrong as many times as we spent our days there it was fun for our kids and grandkids. I can no longer do the stairs up to my seats so we had to let our tickets go. It isnt what we wanted to do but you can only go up in the elevators if you are disabled. I dont look disabled so they would always stop me. I had 3 back surgerys and now I have 2 tumors in my femur bone in left leg so it isnt something that can be seen just walking up to a person. I guess if you dont wear a sign around your neck or have a special way up no one is going to carry you to your seat. they do have plenty of bathrooms and plenty of vendors for a variety of food. You can even take a small cooler in now with beverage for the grandchildren.If you plan a trip to the track you will have a good time just be aware of the little things that mean a lot to someone like me..
