Racing Family!

OK so last weekend on February 27 and 28th. And it was race weekend here in Las Vegas! It took us at least 30 minutes to go 1.5 miles from our house to the track. Yes you guessed it we live by the Speedway!

Anyway so my husband gets tickets and are in the Dale Earnhardt Terrace! And it was awesome because Dale Earnhardt is my favorite. And has been my favorite since I was a little girl. The main reason is because he raced fast and hard and his car was black (my favorite color)! So when he died I transferred that love and attention to his son Dale Earnhardt Jr.! The terrace seats we had really were not that great as far as looking out on to the track. Which was a bummer! Last year we were located on the Richard Petty Terrace at where all the cars came off pit road! That is the spot to be! As it turns out this year all the wrecks were around the Dale Earnhardt Terrace! It was awesome all the smells! Burnt rubber, tires, and gas smell. From this angle we got to see the cars hit pit road and we got to see all the crew go get gasoline! It was awesome to see the long line for the crew to do this! They had their gas cans on little wagons! It was so cute and awesome!

I got some souvenirs! A pack of pens and ticket holder and a pack of pencils! Of course they were Dale Jr's stuff!

And so we were leaving and totally thought it would take at least an hour to get out! And my husband comes up with hey why don't we bar-be-cue next year in the parking lot to kill time. And you know who much time it took us to get home? It took 20 minutes! 20 minutes, can you believe it!?! It was awesome!

Ok ok I know you want to know the winner of the race!! Jimmie Johnson! It was an awesome finish! A fight to the very end between Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson! Everybody in the stands were on their feet cheering and hollering!! Just awesome!

Anyway...my sons driver is Jeff Gordon, my husbands is Matt Kenseth and mine is Dale Earnhardt Jr. My 2 daughters don't have a favorite and one really hates NASCAR! Sad!
