Whatever you do you have to stop in Dingus for a drink. I recommend a cold beer, but if you like hard liquor or dont drink at all you have to stop. It is the classiest dive you will ever be in with cool signatures and pictures on the wall and usually always have an old Nationals playing on the tv.
One of the best things of the whole week is the really dont gauge you too bad on food and drinks around the track. Whether you like winged cars or not, every sprint car fan should take in at least one nationals at Knoxville. It is much more than a race, it really is an event and the entire community, except the cops, support it.
