Driving home to our campground from Fort Worth two days ago, I "blogged" that we passed Texas Motor Speedway along I-35. We were impressed at the size of this complex. As we're not race fans (of any kind), I had to do a little research to find more.
Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth is the second largest sports facility in the country. Both Indy-style racing and NASCAR Nextel Cup stock cars run the course. The speedway inflield alone is large enough for four Cowboys Football Stadiums. Yes, I had to read that twice too.

| 190,000 rabid race fans can be seated simulaneously and there are 194 skybox VIP seats. |
Last week when we checked in at our campground in Denton, we saw lots of NASCAR signage. More flags and banners are going up every day. I expect the campground will be filled to capacity very soon. Turns out April 12-14 is Samsung Mobile 500 Weekend. We do not plan to attend.
