advice on nascar in phoenix

hello

I would like to take my 5 year old son to see nascar as he would love to see all the cars not necessarily the whole race.

We are thinking of going on thursday 10 april while on vacation in phoenix. I have checked that they have practice in the day and racing at night. Can you pitch up on the day and get tickets or do you have to buy in advance? would a ground pass be ok - he just wants to see the cars as he is a huge Cars (the movie) fan.

any advice?

thanks

Don%26#39;t know about Nascar - but you do know the movie cars is set in Arizona. It is a loose story of Route 66 in northern Arizona. Some of the motor courts are still there (like the one with the Teepees) And the drive through Monument Valley and the pine trees (Flagstaff) are spot on. Even the diners you see on the roadside look the same (names changed of course!). Wish he was old enough to appreciate the wonderful history of this very famous piece of Americana!

Knowing how huge Nascar is I imagine you could get a ticket at the gate. Always room for two more!
