    My Wife and I went to the race got there about 4 hours early had pre bought our tickets and parking back in march when we arrived that the handicap parking was full. So we parked went to find a cart to get a lift to the track not to be found. The only way for us to get to the track was to walk the entrance roadway about a half mile or more. My wife and I both have heart conditions. We stopped at the addmin office to voice our concerns. Went to the ticket office to get our hardcopy of our tickets. My wife passed out and we were brought to the first aid room. They wanted to transport her to the hospital. Two others were right after we left. Tried calling left e-mails but had no response from Nashville Nascar. We have attended kc and the 600 with out having problems.
