Nascar races are large, popular events that happen all year long. They are usually a few days per week, and Sunday nights if you are watching Nascar.
To attend a race, you must be prepared. A good rule of thumb is to never wear black or gray for any reason! You will also want to have your race day attire picked out a couple of weeks before so it can be bought and shipped in advance.
You will need to get your race-day clothing sent out around Thursday of the event, so put some time into getting these sorted out early. Packaging needs to be done last- she has to be careful that everything is still nice and protected on arrival!
The event is Saturday, so starting early on Friday morning to do the pre-race nerves and such is helpful.

Suits
A suit is a great everyday clothing staple. There is a nice, easy way to buy a new suit every year, so keep on top of yourself!
Keep the jacket length and width of the shirt around your waistline. If the width is longer, pick a slim-fitted, tight-fitting jacket to keep things simple.
If you have to have a jacket that is longer or has a wider circumference, buy one that is at least double the length of the jacket you are keeping. This will help preserve your wallet and credit cards!
Beware of white pants if there are going to be lots of visible shoes. If not necessary accessories such as shoes or sock coverings must be worn, then.
Button down shirts
A button down shirt is an essential part of any wardrobe. There are so many brands and styles that you can find your self in them all!
Many people choose a button down because of the ease of changing shirts. Many times members of the team wear white or very casual business shirts to the race, making this a good look to get started off in.
A shirt that is close-fitted does not help in getting changed as it makes more difficult to access clothing fast. These are helpful to have on hand for when the sun starts to set and you want something warm.
T-shirts
A tight-fitting, long-sleeve shirt is the ultimate in easy fashion. Just throw on some low cut pants, and you’re ready to go!
Like jeans, leggings, and shirts, cut-outs are a must for this style shirt. If you are wearing a jacket, do not put it on unless it is a sweatshirt or flannel type garment.
If you are wearing a sweater or layering piece, keep the color range high because they will be seen against the black and white of the race car suits.
The shoes must be high-platform with thick soles to help them get an accurate look at the track.
Jeans
Jeans are a constant go-to. If you are going for a strong look, get some cargo jeans. They will help you look strong and determined!
If you are more casual looking, pick a pair of tight-fit jeans. This will help give you more mobility in the legs to move around in the shoe, and also help make your feet fit better.
Try some white or tan colored jeans to create a softer look and add some texture to your outfit.
Cargo pants are also very easy to clean. Just take them off before shoeshine time or while they’re warm enough to stay on. They can be hung up to dry or dried immediately if that is the case.
Recommended Jeans: White or tan colored jeans that have texture to them would be a good choice for this race.
Boots
If you are going to a race in a pair of dress shoes, opt for leather or rubber vinyl shoelaces. The shoes will more than likely require you to walk in them to break them in.
If you are going in casual wear, avoid tight-fitting clothing and pant lengths that are higher on the leg than the arms. These may be necessary if you have to stand on feet for long periods of time.
Since these events tend to be very cold, a jacket or sweatshirt is recommended. A thermal shirt is easy to put on and remove quickly, saving precious time during an event that can last days.
Another tip is choosing thermal shirts with logos or insignias covered. These will help preserve my modesty as I work in the overheating apparel.
Belts
When going to a race at the NASCAR national championship level or above, you should have a belt connected to your waist. At this level and above, cars are not just Displayed but Trained in!
At these races, you will be required to wear a safety belt which has two straps connected by a clip. One of the straps is for your waist-sized belt and the other is for your pants.
The best way to put the Belt on is to take one end of the Belt and pull it through the loop on your waist-sized belt. Then, push down on the other end of the Belt until it is tight.
Take one end of the Belt and pull it through the loop on your waist-sized belt. Then, push down on the other end of the Belt until it is tight.
Hat
A derby hat is an essential part of arace look. A hat will protect your head from the sun and its bright sunlight can get very hot under a hat.
If you are going to be in the sun for a long time, you should invest in a hat. If you are not, then this one will work. It is also important that you have enough hair on top of your head to make a big difference in the look of your helmet.
You can buy hats that are flat on top and set on top of the head, or ones that are shaped with portions that hang down around it. Both styles work and each has their own benefits!
The color or color scheme that goes with the hat is also important.
Sunglasses
If you are going to a NASCAR race or picture-perfect night out, then it is important to pack enough sunglasses. Nascar races are very popular events and people do not want to be excluded from the spectacle because of the poor weather.
Sunglasses are a great way to avoid being blinded by the lights of the track and audience. They also give you some control over your look as you change lens type on your glasses. You can move them from regular lenses to frameless style, add or eliminate tortues, or create unique styles with.
