I believe that would be Infineon Raceway, in Sonoma. Just about 50 miles from Millbrae CA. You are close to Infineon, its a road course, I like it I come up there to the Nascar race and IRL race every yr. Then you are probably 6-8 hr drive to Fontana (depending on our wonder Calif traffic) There are some local dirt tracks up in No Calif as well, but as far as big races these are the two.. Hop on a plane and go to Las Vegas, love the Vegas race, I go every yr.
Go Dale Jr & Hms The only track NASCAR comes to in the Bay Area is Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA. This year it's the Toyota/SaveMart 350 on June 21st. It's a road course so speeds won't get over about 120 mph. However, if you're willing to make a little longer of a drive, I highly recommend going to one of the races at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA. It's a 2-mile oval track so speeds will be a lot greater. This year there's the Auto Club 500 on Feb. 22nd (the race after the Daytona 500) and the Pepsi 500 on Oct. 11th (4th race in the Chase For The Cup Series.) I've been to both tracks and I definitely enjoyed the races in Fontana much more. what I need to know.family restroom sign

Be sure to buy something generic for the 500.
Would you walk up to Tony Stewart with a Juan Pablo shirt and ask him to sign it?
And Biner is right, be sure to ask the reporters too. They are some of the coolest people you will ever meet. grab one of the tires they leave behind.i did.cut it in half;got a pic of rusty wallace in one,jeff burton in the other. It's impossible. There's so many people on pit road and your at least 15 feet away from the drivers. Make sure you bring at least two sharpie's. My friend's son had driver's sign his baseball cap. Buy yourself a few item's of your choice at a NASCAR souvenir hauler. Just a word of advice, be patient with the driver's when seeking an autograph and don't forget to include pit road reporter's. They are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.Hope this helped. Sure...why not?
A poster, or a diecast car would suit well.
Have fun! Are the tickets pre-race access for the 500? If so the drivers aren't there. They get there a couple of minuets before the concert starts. Most of the popular drivers sneak in so they won't be seen. Most of them don't sign autographs before the 500 because they are concentrating on the biggest race of the year. i got tickets to go to pit lane for the daytona 500 and i was wondering sould i take some thing for the drivers to sign? if so what sould i take for them to signre wireing

if you go to the walmart in antich IL you could find it there are matt kenseth cars made for winners circle! Since im collecting the 08 1/64 diecast cars, i have been looking to complete my collection. Well, i happen to need just one car to complete my collection, which is Matt Kenseth. I have only seen this car once, and haven't deen him since. Does anyone know if the Matt Kenseth car is still being made, and has anyone seen it? i have done some research and found brikels racing:#17 Matt Kenseth DeWalt 1:64 ARC 2008 Diecast Car
Matt Kenseth 2008 1:64 #17 DeWalt Ford Fusion Action Kids Hardtop Series diecast car by Motorsports Authentics. DeWalt is the primary sponsor of the #17 Ford in 2008. This car is part of the Action Kids Hardtop Series and will be produced as a 1/64 scale non-opening car. Order your 2008 Matt Kenseth DeWalt sponsored Car of Tomorrow #17 Ford Fusion die-cast today.
Action Kids Hardtop Series is a 1:64-scale limited edition collectible. With a die-cast body and plastic chassis, this sleek replica maintains the authenticity of the actual car but is manufactured for kids and value conscious collectors. Produced in open editions, limited production quantities will be produced for each car but are not predetermined and therefore not listed on the packaging. Each die-cast is packaged in a custom printed box.
The DeWalt car is one in a series of #17 Matt Kenseth Diecast cars for 2008. they also have many more 2008 paint schemes for matt kenseth. hope i could help. I have seen it but not in awhile....not at retail. You may want to prowl around ebay or craigs list....surely it could be found at a somewhat reasonable price on either one of those websites. Good luck with completing your collection.
Just an opinion as always. No i haven't seen it. Sorry. Do I understand that you did see the 2008? If so, they are probably out of production now. I would say they are gearing up for 09. If you are sure that they produced them, call the Wal-Mart stores in your area. They may still have some.
I changed my story. I did find out they did Matt's car. Here is one on ebay cheap. http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Winners-Circle1-...cam live square time

Glad Montoya finished 2nd. And Glad Mark Donahue won for Porsche. Great Race. I watched some of it. It was ok. Did anyone notice that you coulda walked right into the infield for free? Fantastic Finish, Im glad it as close this year. What did you guys think of the Rolex 24?
I thought the last 2 hours of racing was about as good as it gets
Were you happy with the results?
Did you enjoy watching it?
Did you Watch it?
Do you care? I thought it was a great way to kick off Speedweeks. I watched on FOX-Saturday and at the end. It was great racing.
I do care, because it takes a lot of skill to race in the Rolex 24, I have been watching it for years (About 20 years ago, I used to watch the coverage on TBS, when they would provide coverage on the top of the hour). It means to me that NASCAR season is about to start. Yes those last 2 hr were great, I was cheering for the Ganassi team, but it was great seeing David Donohue finally getting the 24 hr. It was a great race, I always enjoy watching it,I look forward to it every yr. I've been to the race 3 times, its great.
Go Dale Jr & Hms It is not my style of racing.However,I have to agree with some others on here and say that the last couple of hours was pretty fricking exciting-had me on the edge of my seat rooting for my man Montoya. I LOVED IT!!! that was some real good racing. 4 cars within 2 seconds after 23 hours! It was amazing. I'm still chilly though. Some dumb broad spilled a bottle of iced tea on my sleeping bag. Whatever happened to the guy on the jet ski? Did he complete the 24 hours? I think it was one of the best Rolex 24's ive seen. I mean seriously.... 4 DP cars on the lead lap for most of the entire race.... sooo exciting. It was also the first time i watched all live coverage.
Soo many funny things they showed in the garage area too. Did anyone see the part about the $60,000 dollars of Pirelli tires??? i mean wow 16,000 sets of tires in that one tent. That was pretty cool how they showed teams taking old tires back, ordering new ones...
I cant remember but the commenters, kept making funny comments on the race on Saturday night, i remember one quote "These teams are too lazy, i remember back in the good days there were only 2 of us driving"
A crazy part was during the Hour 4 pit stops when both leader and 2nd place cars (Law and Montoya) both stalled their cars after pitting, that was crazy....
Another funny part was in the morning hours, they did a segment on what people do in the infield during the race, i got a couple laughs.
I kept getting mad when the #2 DP Childress car kept going behind the wall early in the race. I really wanted them to stay up front.
So after they were out of contention for the win, i then started cheering for the # 01 of Jaun Pablo Montoya (mainly the final 3 hours) That was some exciting racing.
But yeah i think if i rated each part of the race, the first 6 hours and the last 3 hours were the best. I loved it, best Rolex in recent memory!!
most laps completed Donohue wins 40 years to the day after his father!!
I'm going next year definitely!! yes What a race! The top 4 cars were seperated by only 2 seconds. Montoya's car was great in the infield part but the 58 car was great on the nascar track. Montoya was right behind the 58 but once the entered nascar turn 1 he would lose all of it. Since students can get into the infield for $15 there's lots of parties going on and underage drinking. This kid passed out from drinking too much and they had to call the amabulance. I head this guy say to the ER that his friend was 15. This other guy was trying to climb the fence in the infield and run towards the track but was unsuccessful. These girls went streaking and one got tired and sat down. A couple of minuets later she passed out naked.I was in the garages around 1 AM and had to use the bathroom.As I looked Casey Mears was next to me. That was weird. I caught glimpses but missed the end. Nascar gets me going, that, not so much. I did laugh quite hard when AJ blew up. I watched a little of it, but watched the last two hours which were the best. I was hoping Montoya would re-pass Donahue, but his 8 cylinder car DP was no match for that 6 cylinder on the straight away. I was hoping the GT's would hold up traffic more so Montoya could pass. What a wild race! I only saw parts of it, but what I saw, I enjoyed. I was pulling for Ganassi, with JPM doing well up to the last half hour. Not my favorite type of racing, but better than no racing. Only 2 more weeks to go....

Does anybody else notice how similar Newman's Hass scheme looks to Dale Sr.'s car? it aint even no paint involved in it ~its a wrap!!
and you didnt mention david ragans Looks don't matter too much to me, but Menard's car is pretty ugly.
I'm more interested in why you're an ogre now. Did you get a promotion up from troll? LOL
EDIT: You need new friends. : ) I actually can not stand Dale Jr's Schemes at all! Way to much white. Well Prez, unfortunately I am going to have to disagree with you on most of 'em. I love the #96 car....I think it'll look great on the track.
I like the #39 scheme...just don't like the #39 numerals...think they look too cartoonish or something...just don't match the 14 that well.
I like Paul's car....it's not great but not too bad. I hate the BURGER KING car so I'll agree with you on that one. And I like the old spice/office depot cars. Just my opinion as always.....no offense. I agree with you for the most part:
1. #02 Farm Bureau Insurance
http://www.jayski.com/schemes/2009/02cup...
2. #39 Haas
3. #14 Burger King
4. #5 Cheez-It
5. #14 Old Spice Menards is not that great, But Bowyers is just plain and boring. Don't worry Mr Prez Nascar Nation doesn't thing you are a Orge.
Go Dale Jr & Hms lol, i agree. i hate the 98 car just awful was the guy drnk while dawing it?
i like 14 burger king as a johnson fan his car is bad. lol i like em all How is Menards Ugly? I love that scheme they all suck bad in no order:
#98 Menards
#6 UPS
#33 Cheerios
#43 McDonalds
#47 Clorox Paul Menard's is kinda plain. Not ugly, just plain.
Are you hanging around with supermodels or something? You're not ugly. You look Italian, and you have an Italian sounding name, it's a well known fact that Italian men are sexy. Just sayin'.. They all are pretty awful, but the worst may be Labonte's then Menard's! I agree with Carol about the 33. That car is UGLY. I feel for Clint Bowyer after being in a great looking car last year and now going into that.
Not many of the other cars are just horrible looking but some of the numbers look horrible. Tony Stewarts cars for example. I like the base schemes but the numbers suck. Sorry Stewart fans, nothing against him but SHR has some really bad artists. Lol
1. Ryan Newman's Haas Automation car
http://www.jayski.com/schemes/2009/39cup...
2. Bobby Labonte's Ask.com car
http://www.jayski.com/schemes/2009/96cup...
3. Paul Menard's John Manville car
4. Tony Stewart's Burger King car
http://www.jayski.com/schemes/2009/14cup...
5. Tony Stewarts Oldspice/Office Depot cars David Ragan's
Clint Bowyer's
Newman's Haas You know absolutely nothing about bad paint schemes!!
4 of the 5 you named are awesome
The Ask.com car of Labonte looks cool, why don't you like it because it is blue?
The Burger King Car looks cool and the colors are somewhat unusual.
Both of Tony's are awesome!!
Ryan's looks pretty cool!!
The five worst
1. The Paul Menard ride you mentioned,
2. Elliott Sadler's Stanley ride is ugly wow black and yellow we haven't seen that before
http://jayski.com/teams/19.htm
3. The 33 Cheerios is too plain.
http://jayski.com/teams/33.htm
4. #20 Farm Bureau Insurance Camry
http://www.jayski.com/schemes/2009/20cup...
5. I don't like the number style on the #6 UPS
http://jayski.com/teams/6.htm LOL ya you might need some new friends.
But dude Newman Haas car and Stewarts Oldspice/Office Depot car are great looking cars. But you right thats the beauty of an opinion.

Either that one (Kevin LePage is an idiot...) or Greg Sniffle running out of talent when Carl Edwards was drafting with him in the fall Taladega race.... yes every time DW says we are still waiting for the Big one it happens.. maybe they need to bleep that out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05mGAWpnR...
I like how EVERY time they mention the big one and how it hasn't happened yet, it always happens that lap. I forgot about that LOL.WHAT AN IDIOT!!!!!
I thought I was supposed to blend in by jumping up in front of a whole pack of guys running 196 mph when my car was only running 112 mph....heh heh heh.That is the bonehead move of the millenium! My only comment about that is that Lepage said in an interview that he was under the assumption that when he got to Turn 1 he was supposed to blend into the race track, instead of waiting until the backstretch to do so.
Does it take the blame off of him? No, it really doesn't. He wrecked like 20 cars, and could have killed someone. However, it really is his crew chief's fault as much as it is his fault: his CC should have told him NOT to go up on the track because the pack was coming, but either he didn't or Lepage didn't hear him. i guess Carl Edwards and his video game manuever would win that award..
but you are right...as soon as DW says that...BAM!!!!!!!!!!! Its like speaking it into existance. It's not hard to predict the big one at a restrictor plate race. With only a few laps to go the drivers are tired and going 200 mph and the only way they can pass is to start nudging out of the way. You can look and tell the cars are becoming impatient the way they move around a lot and start getting wiggly. That was a bonehead move on Kevin Lepage's part. No other excuse for that particular wreck. yes, biggest bonehead move.
i think the biggest bonehead move of 2009 will be at watkins glen and montoya intentionally wrecks harvick (and yes, i do realize that was from 2007) Hmmm, what if DW mentions it every green flag laps? Interesting. Yeah, I know. That's just plain hilarious...... "The Big one blah blah blah"
BAM!!!!!!!!!!! When I saw that wreck on TV while that race was going on, I was freakin' out!!!!! Danica Patrick busting open a guy's skull on the pit road of Indy last year.................. That decision by LePage shows why he doesn't have a full time gig. Who would drive right up in front of the whole pack?desniy channle
