Texas Motor Speedway - Racing comes to Texas !
"BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY....LET'S GO RACING"
Will be shouted on air Sunday April 15 at the Texas Motor Speedway. The Samsung 500 NASCAR NEXTEL CUP Series race is coming to Texas. Starting on April 12 the NASCAR Busch Series begins its Qualifying day for the O'Reilly 300 scheduled for Saturday afternoon. Then Saturday morning, April 13th, before the Busch race the NEXTEL Cup drivers will have their time to Qualify. Also, scheduled this year as the Busch race finishes and nightfalls a special presentation of "Dale - the Movie" will be shown along the front stretch. Included with the movie will be several drivers, close friends and others talk about Dale. April 14th brings the NEXTEL Cup race starting at 1pm. Texas has held 12 races and has never had a repeat winner. Each year it has been someone new "smoking" and making their way to the winner's circle.

Texas Motor Speedway is a great track. You've got all kinds of choices of where to watch the race at. You can sit in a Luxury Suite, or get PSL-seating.. this is where you can buy a package to sit in the same place every time with all kinds of perks. Check out the site for Fan Deals that will include all kinds of perks and or events along with the race. Also, don't forget about the camping. Check out the web-site for rules/regulations and what type of camping that will best fit your needs. You've got choices of infield, inside or outside RV parking and even a special Tent City area. However you decide to go HAVE FUN!
So far this 07' season has Mark Martin in first place followed close behind by Jeff Gordon. Now Mark Martin is on a minimal race schedule so it seems Jeff Gordon and others will easily push past him, shoving him further down the Chase standing. Gordon had the Pole at Bristol and finished in the top 10 in five of the last races. Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Burton, and Matt Kenseth, aren't to far behind either. It should be an exciting race.
If you won't be able to make this Texas race don't fret, on November 4th weekend comes another set of races with the NEXTEL Cup in ‘The Race For The Chase" to see who will win over all. The Dickies 500 will be the 3rd to last race so excitement will be at an all time high.
And if like myself, you may not make the trek to the track you can catch it all on the Speed channel, FOX, ESPN, TNT or ABC this year.
