Here’s the next question I have…..how strict are they on the 14x14x14 cooler rule? I’ve found a few that are close but may exceed the height limit by a few inches. I don’t want to lug a cooler around so I am specifically looking at backpack coolers. Here’s the one I am looking at purchasing.

Haven't been to TMS, but at plenty of other tracks, the general rule is "don't bring something that is undeniably gigantic and conspicuous." If it's not going to be large enough to inconvenience people seated near you, you should be fine. 

It's hard to tell exactly how big that thing is (awesome how Academy doesn't list the dimensions, not like that's ever important with coolers...) but I would give it a shot. If you get turned away, go to another gate or two until you find the guy who doesn't give a shit. 

Just in case you fully strike out, I would also leave a smaller cooler in the car. Worst case scenario, you have to go back to the car and return with a few fewer beers.

Cannot wait to read your review of the whole experience.

This might be the best weather day for a NASCAR race in TMS history.

Wish I was there.

I enjoyed the experience. The 100 year old vet that sang the National Anthem was awesome. You could hear the pride in that man’s voice.

I went in knowing nothing of the sport and left disappointed. Disappointed because as the race wore on I noticed the 45 car was kind of lingering around. He was in a good spot. I thought he was gonna make a push for a top 2 or 3 finish if not winning the damn thing outright. And then with less than 30 laps to go he got spun out by some limp dick who apparently took driving lessons at the Anne Frank School for the Blind. The fact that he was sitting fourth, got clipped, and finished 23rd was insane to me. All because some driver couldn’t handle his shit.

I was absolutely gobsmacked by the number of cars that came into the pit that looked like they were done (broken axle, body damaged beyond repair, etc) but the crew would get it all back together and the car would leave the pit looking like nothing happened.

The facilities at the track itself reminded me of a high school football game. A lot of basic food choices. No real fan interactivity. Feels like some modernization is due.

I tried to embed some video I took but Tapa won’t let me. It was a really great experience. I’d do it again. Exiting the parking lot was a beating though. Fort Worth’s finest had the south 35 access roads closed. Which meant I had to drive north and loop back around in to 35 south. But all in all it was an enjoyable experience. Thinking about renting a camper next year and posting up in the infield…..
