Bobby Watson's Carteret County Speedway, North Carolina

The Carteret Speedway track was opened in 2015 after 10 years of work by former racer Bobby Watson. The speedway is sanctioned by NASCAR and features eight degrees (8°) of banking in the turns and four degrees (4°) of banking on the straightaways. Part of the seating is at one of the corners at track level which is a thrill having the cars coming straight toward where we were sitting. We went to the track right after our boat ride to Cape Lookout so we got to go onto the track to see the cars and the drivers. This track has more amenities than the Coastal Plains track, but it was pretty much the same crew of cars. There are eight different divisions that have a different number of laps each. This track had a Ferrari as the pace car instead of the Subaru at Coastal Plains. The kids liked getting the funnel cake. Overall the kids don't seem too interested, but I enjoyed seeing not just the cars but the people racing them. The ear protection is a must for sure.
