In 2009 bringing a scanner to a NASCAR race will let you hear the drivers, race crew and spotters talk to each other during the race. You can also listen to NASCAR officials or even the radio broadcast. Most scanners will let you listen to some teams and crew but you need to look for more frequencys than the basic to hear them all.

The 400-500 frequency range will cover most Nextel drivers but other races use the 800 range. Also having at least 200 savable channels will let you save Nextel and Bush drivers without reprogaming during the race weekend.

Just looking for a scanner with the NASCAR logo on it will make sure you have most all of the features you will need.
