That's really cool you’re finally going to a race jsanro! There's really not too much I can add to what Bohnzie and others have said. But unless you’re planning on going to NASCAR events a few times a year I would just rent the scanner at the race. I've rented them a few times and it is cool to listen in on your driver. But honestly the last couple of times I've gone I haven’t bothered with it. I just like to hear and feel the engines roar by and take in all the different smells you'll find at a race. Like some others have said defiantly bring some ear plugs and get there early so you can tailgate and walk around and check the whole event out.
