Why put yourself through the hassle and stress of driving to a NASCAR race on your own? When travelling with Great Canadian Holidays, you can forget about the mess of traffic, forget about fiddling with maps and directions, and forget about trying to find a reasonable rate at a hotel…basically the only thing you need to worry about is getting to your pickup location. What’s even better is that Great Canadian offers a number of pickups along the major 400 series highways. Don’t spend a good part of your race getaway battling traffic; with Great Canadian your race experience starts the moment you step onboard the coach. A NASCAR-knowledgeable tour director will be with you to ensure the drive is comfortable and fun. Before you know it, you’ll arrive at the track, feeling energized and ready for the events ahead.

Martinsville Speedway’s ½ mile paper-clip shaped track has been testing the best since 1947. Both man and machine will be taken to the limit after 500 laps at this picturesque Virginia speedway. Great Canadian Holidays’ seats, up high on turn 2, at the end of PIT Road, offer passengers a view spanning the entire track. You’ll be able to see all of the action from there.

If you’re a true NASCAR fan, you already know the Subway 500 is the sixth stop in the chase for the NEXTEL Cup, and the only short-track stop in the chase. For this and many other reasons, space will not last long on Great Canadian’s Subway 500 race getaway. A full package includes luxury motorcoach transportation, 3 nights accommodation in Roanoke, Saturday’s NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Race, Sunday’s NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series Race, 3 continental breakfasts, and all taxes.
