Some race tracks are known for challenging corners, while others are lauded for their extensive history–but what about their food offerings?
Which race tracks have the best trackside concessions?

An ear of corn, grilled still in the husk over an open fire on a piece of chainlink fence then dipped into a coffee can full of "butter" at Road America, and these fries with ketchup, mayo and chopped onion at the Nurburgring.

I bet that chopped onion really elevated those Pommes frittes.
You have to order them as "pommes spezial" to get the onions and it's an extra .50 euro but worth every penny. They come with a tiny fry-sized fork,and whoever applies the ketchup and mayo has clearly studied their craft because the proportion and distribution are exceptional.
Martinsville is legendary for their $2 hot dogs. I had one once but didn't know the drill and ended up with pretty much no toppings by accident. it was still good though, so I can only imagine that it's even better with all the bells and whistles.

Good to know. I do like to avoid tracks that serve only beverages.
