[RacnJason00]

Is planning a trip to Caraway Speedway March 12th and 13th for the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour season opener!!!

Any place anyone recommends for good BBQ or other places to eat, or places to stay down there


I'm driving down from Maine gonna just catch some early racing, My WMT team isn't going down, so I thought I would go down relax and talk and meet some people... Any info or feedback will be great

I usualy stay at Red Roof Inns, there are some in Greensboro area and if you want to travel back home more, and if you travel on 81 , theres one in Wytheville VA and Roanoke VA.

I'm gonna leave Wednesday Afternoon and go down 95 to the Mass pike then down 81... I'm gonna go from Wednesday to like Sunday and get back home to Maine as quick as I can for Monday.... I Like traveling 95 all the way down but i think its too far outta my way. I like to stay in Fredericksburg VA and hit the Hooters next door to the hotel motel

I like taking 95 to 85

my wife is from McLeansville NC, and we always go to Hursey's BBQ in Burlington NC. Good NC style BBQ (lotsa vinegar, not traditional BBQ sauce). It's right off 85 on your way to caraway, about 15 mins east of greensboro.

834 South Church Street, Burlington, NC

Living in the Burlington area, I'll give props to Hurseys. However, you might consider stopping at their Graham location on Highway 87. About one mile south of the interstate and a whole lot easier to negotiate than the one in Burlington.

Also, if you want the REAL DEAL at good prices (much cheaper than the hyper-inflated Lexington fare) get off of I-85 at Highway 86 in Hillsbourough. Go south about 3-4 miles and you'll find Allen & Sons. They still use real wood, not gas. IMHO, the best BBQ in this area without going down east.

BTW, many affordable hotel options in the Burlington area (especially at the Highway 49 exit) and it's less than 45 minutes to Caraway.

I like taking 95 to 85

78 to 81 to 77 is BY FAR more scenic, and doesn't really add much to the trip. Might even be quicker with 95/85 traffic

[TourFan Ed]

Usually go 78 81 220 about 40 miles longer than mapquest 95 85 route and no tolls once you get into PA as opposed to NJ Turnpike and Delaware and Maryland tolls.
