Go because free and mostly what Scotty said about hardware.
I went to Talladega a couple years ago in an RV, infield, a few slots back from turn 3. Don't expect anywhere close to the pit / garage access you get at an IMSA race. We were there the whole weekend and it was pretty annoying how little track action there actually is. At IMSA, track is alive from 8AM to 7PM.
I think you'll enjoy the experience, but won't be hooked.

Crash celebration, check! (I think this was JR's (#88) last talladega race so also celebrating that he wasn't involved)

Down by the fence for what really are some pretty thunderous restarts

I also think every car person should go to at least one NHRA event too. The starting line is insane, the speed is insane, and watching them thrash through an engine rebuild between runs is pretty impressive. Pit / paddock access is more like IMSA too.

I have a little bit of a rub near lock but if you are turned to lock on a track there are other problems already...
