Race Day

Race Day!! Here is the reason my mom and I ended up at a Nascar Race-Clint Boyer!! My mom became a HUGE fan about a year ago when she decided to join a Nascar Club with the guys she works with. Her driver was Clint Boyer and she has been hooked ever since! She even got to meet him Thursday night and get her shirt signed by him!!

The ladies my mom works with got her 2 tickets to the races Saturday and I was the lucky one that got to go...and now I am kind of hooked!! I didn't know if I would like it, but it was a lot of fun!

Here is the race, my mom and I kept trying to get a picture of Clint's car, but never did. The people around us probably thought we were nuts, but oh well!! Some people rented the headphones and you could listen to the drivers...we didn't rent them, but the guy next to us did and he was nice enough to let my mom and I listen for a while!! That was pretty cool! I also thought they would be a good gift for my brother-in-law's upcoming birthday, he could really tune me out if he had those things on!!! Here my mom and I are before the race! We both had on Clint Boyer shirts. They are both hers and she insisted that I wear one!! I was a sport and wore it, at least mine was the cool one (as cool as Nascar shirts can get!!).
Almost as good as the races...seeing my great friend Dave!! When I found out I was going I called him because I figured he would be there too! It was great to see him! All of the trailers were you could buy stuff. We bought Dylan a shirt that says Grandma's racing buddy!
The cars getting ready to start! I had no clue this was how they started, I learned so much!!
Another one with them pushing the cars in place, why don't they just drive them in place? Another question-why do they only have seats on one side of the track? This has really been bugging me, and no one I know can answer it! So, anyone out there with the answer...please share with me!!!

My mom and I are already planning on going back next time, it really was a lot of fun! Next time I think Ash is going too! I really think Brad should go too, I will sit next to him to prove that I can stay quiet for 2-3 hours (I have to, it is so loud you can't talk, or you can and no one can hear you!!).
