Attica and Eldora both have good food and reasonable prices (especially Eldora). Attica parking shouldn't be too bad. Although this is most likely the 2nd biggest show Attica hosts... So if the ground is soft you might want to try to avoid parking across the street. If you're an early goer you shouldn't have much of a problem parking inside the fairgrounds in one of the gravel lots. My house is the opposite direction from the track so I usually leave straight from work. That gets me there early enough to get one of the spots on the "aisle way" for a quick get away. General admission should get you a decent seat in the top half of any section. I'm not even sure if they sell reserved seats for ASCoC events.
As for Eldora... the place is huge. General admission seating and parking everywhere. You will literally be able to find a good seat anywhere you'd like from turns 3/4, down the frontstretch, or in turn 1. You can also pay a few extra bucks for a reserved concrete slab and bring in a lawn chair. My suggestion for Eldora (especially if you're never been) is to get a pit pass and watch hot laps from the infield. Then head towards your seats right before qualifying.

Attica will probably be a little more crowded than other tracks due to the fan following it has and that this is one of their top 2 or 3 events of the year. They have gravel parking inside the fairgrounds as well as grass parking across the street. Traffic won't be an issue entering or exiting. If its rained a lot during the week just choose your spot wisely in the grass. You can also park along the road and shouldnt have too much of an issue. Either way you won't have too long of a walk to get in. The concession stand at Attica is CASH only I believe so make sure you have it as their is no ATM. Prices a resonable for food and they typically have burgers, hot dogs, fries, onion rings, chicken sandwich, chips, traditional concession food, Pepsi Products to drink. I try to sit a little higher at Attica due to the horse track but there really is not a bad seat in the house. People are nice so no problems getting a seat.
Eldora you will have plenty of parking options and all are good. Typically I would say the 8-9row up you should not have any obstruction from the haulers. If you sit any lower then some of the view might go away because of the trailers. Get a pit pass before the show and stand around the inside fence areas at different spots. It is a neat scene seeing the cars that close and that fast. Prices at Eldora for the concessions are cheaper than Attica. Same things as Attica plus Pizza, Pizza steak, chicken tenders, cheeseballs, chicken wings, popcorn, Coke Products.
