Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
We’ll save you some time after that headline and tell you our opinion: No.
The best and most incredible seat in NASCAR – and maybe all of sports – is Dover’s famed "Monster Bridge" (Dover also has another bridge, but it's just for pedestrians and standing is not permitted).
Rattlesnake Hill at Phoenix International Raceway is still pretty impressive, and probably ranks among the best views in NASCAR. But we'll put it a distant second behind Dover.
Our other nominees? Pretty much any seat at Bristol, the tri-oval at Talladega and the (somewhat) new tower at Richmond.
Leave your comments below if you have another idea for the best seat in NASCAR.

My opinion...
I prefer the backstretch at Talladega. It may not be that great but I like it more than the tri-oval.

I have to agree. I’ve never been to Phoenix nor Dover, but I have Bristol and Talladega. Every seat is great at Bristol, at Talladega you can’t see the entire track anywhere but tri-oval is where the passes are setup. Why didn’t the forest on the Pocono backstretch make the list, Jeff?
Also any grandstands coming out of 4 at a tri-oval 1.5 mile track make my list. I love hearing those cars nail the gas and you are looking straight down the front stretch.

The hill at NHMS would be comparable, I’d think. Never watched from there, but it seems very popular.

While I didn’t watch the race from there, the hill on the “backstretch” at Sonoma, and anywhere at Martinsville!
