I like sitting towards the first turn about halfway up the stands at Haubstadt as well as Bloomington.
You are going to get “pelted” with a little clay early in the evening in those locations. It’s no big deal, think free souvenir You’re gonna love it. I love Haubstadt. P.S. I always wear ear plugs even though I love the sound of a sprint car.

It's just a little over an hour to get to haubstadt from Bloomington. I live near Princeton about10 miles from the track. Lots less traffic plenty of food choices. Carriage Inn in downtown haubstadt is the local choice near the track.hampton inn or farfield inn both good.
