"Everything is bigger in Texas and Texas Motor Speedway will put on a big show under the lights in April 2012. This is the first NASCAR Sprint Cup night race of the season and the first for this race track.
Racing at Texas Motor Speedway is fast and our seats are high in the stands. Located on the front stretch in turn one, the upper section 115 is in front of pit road and provides a clear view of the entire track. Our motor coach parks near turn one as well, so the walking at TMS is minimal.
We offer the Pit Stop Pavilion hospitality pass as an option for this event, and the pavilion is suitably located outside the track near turn one and the bus parking lots. This pass includes a catered meal prior to the Cup race as well as a pit pass to get you down on pit road.
We stay at the Embassy Suites because of the great amenities and because it is close to Dallas Fort Worth Airport (DFW). The hotel provides two-room suites, a cooked-to-order breakfast each day, and free airport shuttle for your convenience. The track is just a 25-mile motorcoach ride from the hotel.
The weather is another bonus to racing in Texas. The average high temperature in April is in the mid 70’s, but you may want a jacket for this evening race with lows in the 60’s.
Spend an extra day in Fort Worth, Texas to visit the Stockyards or see a concert at Billy Bob’s."
