A group from the bank my Dad worked at would get tickets for the two major races at the time - Talladega 500 and the Winston 500. This would have probably been in the early 80's before NASCAR saw such a surge in popularity. That said it was pretty damn exciting, even from the stands, seeing those cars moving at around 200MPH, inches from each other. We always had seats coming out of turn 4 headed down the stretch to the flag which made for some exciting maneuvers. Haven't been back since and probably never will, but there's certainly nothing wrong with it.
Seeing it as a pit VIP would certainly add to the excitement as the pits are many times where the races are won.
