NOTE: For the Too Long/Didn't Read (TL;DR) crowd, see the last two sentences.
Personally, I love hitting the open road and watching the countryside roll past as I make my way to whatever destination I travel to. So when it comes to driving, I don't have any issues with it. I am a very safe driver (been driving for 9 years, with no accidents, tickets, or citations on my record) who does the speed limit, keeps distance between myself and others, and finds alternative routes in order to avoid major traffic congestion, even if it adds an extra hour to my travel time (trust me, being stuck in 6+ lanes wide of bumper to bumper traffic in Los Angeles is not fun).
In regards to distance, so long as it is within a 12 hour drive or within a 800 mile radius from where the trip begins, I don't mind driving that long or that far. Back in 2016, I made the 517 mile drive (just over 8 hours) from my house all the way down to Auto Club Speedway for the 2016 Auto Club 400 race weekend. I had a blast making my way down Interstate 5 and taking in the sights on the west side of the valley as I headed south. On the way back up after the race, I took the alternate route up Highway 99 so I could see the sights on the eastern side of the valley. I very much enjoyed my trip (outside of driving over the Grapevine on Interstate 5 that is to the north of Los Angeles, which made for some nervous driving going up and down that steep mountain). I look forward to repeating that same drive when I attend the 2022 Busch Light Clash at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in February (barring severe weather shutting down the Grapevine [snow/sleet/freezing rain], which would result in having to fly down from Sacramento to Los Angeles International Airport).
An example of a distance that I would not be willing to drive (reason explained below) is my upcoming trip to the Truck/Cup race weekend in June at World Wide Technology Raceway (Gateway). I live in the northern part of California, and according to Google Maps, the drive from my house to the entrance of WWT Raceway is a staggering 2,003.7 miles (Google put it as a 29 and a half hour drive). Since it would take me 3+ days to drive there (and the fact that it is very, very hard [nearly impossible] to get more than 3 days off from my boss at the TV station I work at), I have to overcome my dislike of flying (makes me nervous) in order to attend the race weekend at Gateway. I have only flown five times in my life (last time was way back in 2007 when I took a Southwest plane from Sacramento to Phoenix so I could attend the 2007 Subway Fresh Fit 500[k] at Phoenix International Raceway), so it will be the sixth-ever time I have taken to the skies on a trip.
In a perfect world, I would be able to take a whole week's worth of time off (seven to eight days), make the 3-ish day drive (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) from California to St. Louis (where the hotel I am staying at is), spend two days there (Saturday and Sunday), save Monday as an emergency date (in case of rain delaying race to Monday), and then drive back to California (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday). Unfortunately, in the nine years I have worked at the local TV station, I have not had any luck convincing any of the four different bosses I have worked for over the years (in three different departments) to give me more than three days off for anything I've requested, so I have learned that making such a request is pretty much worthless (99.99995% chance of not happening). If I was able to get all of that time off, then I would gladly make the drive to St. Louis and back (would make for a fun road trip seeing all of the sights and passing through areas I have never been to).
TL;DR Version: I love driving, and will drive anywhere within a 12 hour/800 mile travel radius for a NASCAR race, sporting event, concert, or convention. Will not drive on a trip over 800 miles or if it takes more than a full day to drive there (example: 2,003.7 mile/29 and a half hour drive from my house to WWT Raceway outside St. Louis), mainly due to the difficulty of getting that much time off from work.
