Couple of questions...

Best place to sit?

Best place to stay?

Best place to eat?

Any must hit breweries?

Where is pit enterence?

Thanks.

Best Seats - Frontstrech Sections B & C the higher you can get - these tickets sell first.  Also, top rows of K by entering turn 3 but actually not many bad seats except you may get covered with dirt close to turn four.

Best Place to Stay - Campground.  Motels in Festus about 6 miles.

Best Place to Eat - Campground is what we do. Others may have suggestions - south St. Louis County has everything - 20 miles.

Breweries - Do not know - the World's Largest Brewery is just 30 miles away in St. Louis.  Check for tour dates.

Pit Entrance -  Herky-Horine Road goes to the track from Highway 61/67.  Pit entrance and campground is 1st track entrance to the left.

Others may have other ideas, I have only been going to Outlaw shows at I-55 since 1990.

Not much to add other than I like section K on the backstretch as it's higher than the frontstretch stands and you're less likely to get obliterated by the mud after a track rework. 

As for food and drink, one of the cool things about Pevely is how close it is to St Louis which has great BBQ and other restaurants. 

Also highly suggest getting a pit pass if you're not Drinking as there is some down time at Pevely so it's nice to have the pits to go to while they do the track rework. 

Breweries - 

Main & Mill, Festus - 10 min tops

Shlafly - St. Louis / Maplewood - 35 min

Four Hands - near downtown, 30ish minutes

Restaurants

- St. Louis han an old Italian neighborhood with several good restaurants like Zias, Cunnetos, 

- BBQ, Bogarts, Pappys, Beast Craft

- Blues City Deli, Giola's Deli

If you get a pit pass, go down to the infield and watch hot laps and qualifying in turns one or two. It's a neat prospective. You will want to bring some ear plugs though.
