Auto Club 400 Camping??

Anyone camp at Fontana for the Sprint Cup race? I want to take my dad in a couple years (2016) and camp in the infield, and I want to get any tips or info about when I need to reserve, stuff I need to make sure to bring, etc. This will be our first time camping at a NASCAR race.

Thanks,
Jesse
  • I would call now and ask about availability. Things you might want are lawn chairs, easy up, generator and if you drink enough supplies for four days. Its party city so if you need to sleep bring ear plugs. They have an infield store although there were a couple of years they didn't. So if they don't bring all the food you might want for four days. If they have a store you can get most anything except for alcohol products. We love going. We have a group and have nine or ten spots. Sunday is a big pot luck for us and watch the race on a big screen TV and then after the race we play red neck games like LRC and the bean bag thing
  • Thanks HotPepperKid. I did call them today and got the scoop on how it works. Looks like if you camped one year, you get first dibs the next, although the lady I talked to said there are always spots available. I have a reminder to call in when I need to next year, so I should be good there.
