Unfortunately I can't address Phoenix as we haven't been there, but have been to a bunch of the tracks a little further east.
Yes camping is somewhat expensive for what you get. Frequently a slightly marked spot in an open field, but if that's what is available it works. You will sometimes find spots that are well out of level and will need enough blocking to level even if you have jacks. Water isn't usually a problem if you are just a little conservative. If you need additional water it can be carried with you in various ways or often will be available from vendors who work the camping areas. Obviously for a price.
As for the race itself. Be prepared with sunscreen, fluids for drinking and hearing proection as desired. I can't emphasize any more than others about how much scanners and headsets add to the enjoyment of most racing events. I find myself listening to numerous drivers, NASCAR officials and track workers along with the radio and TV feeds. There is so much more information available that way and you can see the race from a completely different perspective when you know more about what is going on. The noise reduction from the headsets are just another bonus. Bristol is probably the most consistently loud venue we have been to. It just never drops off since cars are all around the track all of the time.
Go, enjoy, and try not to be in too big of a rush to get out of there. If time allows even having an extra day available makes things a lot easier when you don't have to contend with the after race traffic and rush to get home.
