No comparison. Infield is so much better.
So little story....
Parked infield at PIR in the early 90s. Outside in the am drinking a cup of coffee and up pulls a flying Ford Taurus. Goes to parallel park, since it was a busy area where the boys parked for the am pre race drivers meeting. The Ford Taurus goes to back in between two cars and rams back into a pedestrian car. Bent the hood, and smashed the bumper. Out of the Ford pops Mark Martin, to see the other car owner sitting scratching his head looking at his smashed car.
Mark grabs a sharpie out of his pocket, says sorry man, signs the guys hood and hands him a wad of cash. Don't think the other guy got a word to Mark before he went running off to the meeting.
Now those were the great OLD days of real Nascar!
