I am a racing fan but, swore off going to them long ago.
 
You would likely be OK but, remember you will be placing yourself in the middle of thousands of people; a significant percentage of which are in the process of (or have completed) embalming themselves.  Some come to see a race, others to be "festive" and likely don't even remember anything about a "race".
 
I've not been to Texas Motor Speedway, so I can't speak from experience.  I am a former LEO who had the pleasure of of working the riot team back in the haydays of the Indy 500 "snakepit".  My views may be a bit jaundiced by these pleasant memories LOL.  I do understand that the race crowds have become a bit more subued over the years and the NASCAR crowd is a bit more behaved.
 
So, my opinion is.....I don't know what to advise...other than, if you do go, take some hearing/ear protection (espescially for the little one).  If memory serves, TMS is a mile and and a half oval and it will be plenty loud with 43 cars on the track.  Good luck!

I'm thinking about going to one of these. Any thoughts on the activities there? I've heard it's kid friendly (I have a 2 1/2 yr oldl boy). But at night it gets rowdy.

Any advice would be appreciated. I've never been to a nascar race before so I have no clue.
