Texas Motor Speedway-places to eat

[MUSTANG69]

My wife and I are heading for Fort Worth this weekend to attend the Nascar race. I haven't been in that part of the state in years. I need to know some good places to eat (especially steaks).

If you are staying by DFW airport, Bone Daddy's off 114 in Grapevine is good. They have steaks on the menu plus a lot of other stuff.

They had some gigantic draft beers there too.:cool:

Good luck with the traffic. i attended the 1st 8 or 9 races there. I love to go to the track. I finally decided the traffic was just not worth it. Stayclear of 114 at all cost!!! I will honk when I go by thursday evening headed out to shoot some turkeys:D

I have never been to Texas Motor Speedway but I have been to Daytona. It took me 4 hrs to go 5 miles when the race was over. I think this race starts a 2:00 PM. We plan tlo leave the hotel at 9:00 AM.

re: Nascar.
my brother and his wife go to Texas Motor Speedway every year THey were talking about Bone Daddy's at Easter. They've made friends with this family from Canada and they now meet up and stay with and sit by each other each year. They now go on family vacations with this family. Pretty neat. I've never been into the Racing curcuit but my brother keeps telling me if I ever went, I'd be hooked. Heck, we go to Daytona every year for 4th of July and they have a big race there and alot of the people with us go to the race. I stay at the house and watch the waves crash :)

You should go to a race at least one time. There is a lot of excitement with prerace activities and it is a lot of fun just seeing all the different types of people that go and the things they do. The race is just a part of it.

114 is much better now than it used to be, at least when you're coming in from Irving/Grapevine area. That used to be a 3 hour drive on race morning but the last few years it has been just over an hour.

We usually get on the road about 8am and get to the parking lot around 9:30am or so. We always park on the back stretch (between the condos and the dirt track) because it is much easier to get out of after the race. Just watch the traffic cones at 114 & 35 on your way out to make sure you get in the right lane....the setup is different every time.

Also, try to buy all of your supplies before you head to the track, unless you don't mind paying 15 bucks for a 12 pack at the Albertsons on 377 in Roanoke.;)

I also use to go every year, than I got married and the little boys came. They love watching the races on the 52 inch with daddy and in a couple years I plan on taking them . I hope I am still getting my free tickets then ( jus gave away 4 suite passes to a coworker for his wedding present ) The one thing you get in person that TV does not catch is the color of the event. TV cannot show all the pagentry.
