This weekend I once again became a Nascar fan! My mom and I went last year, and well, I am kinda hooked!! I don't watch the races, I can't name very many racers...but seeing them live is so much fun!!
This time the fun started on Thursday! See--my dear momma is in Clint Bowyer's fan club. He is a driver, and he's a Kansas Boy!! Being in the fan club means you (and a guest) can go to his private fan club party. Being the sucker I am, I went to the party with my mom! I honestly felt like a BIG DORK!! We had him sign our matching Clint Bowyer shirts, and had our picture taken with him and then with his car. My mom was so excited. Kind of like how I would be if I got to meet...ummm...maybe...Taylor Swift. I know, dorky and so high school, but I love her. Just like my mom loves Clint Bowyer!
The race was Sunday and this time my sister came along. My mom and I talked about how great it was last year, so she decided to give it a try. Before the race started we had tickets to a private tent. Along with this we got lunch, drinks (beer for them, water for me--boohoo), and tours of the pits. How cool. It is one of those things that is neat to see, but I wouldn't go down and do the pit tours again. We got to see up close and personal where the pit crew hang out and keep all of their car things. There were a lot of BIG tires. I mean A LOT!!
The three of us in front of Bowyer's pit! Yes, we were all 3 in matching t-shirts--how fun!! See the tires back there. Take that times a billion and that is how many there were everywhere!! Do you see my baby bounce (Dylan's name for the baby) bump there!!!
And again, me and my 2 favorite gals! This time we were on the race track.
This was our view from our seats. The race was about to begin!!
What a day!! It was so much fun spending an entire day with just my mom and sister. We were a little out of our element but we had so much fun!!
Listen to this video. Take that about 280 more times and that is like being there in person. Completely awesome!! Next time we are renting the cool head phones so we can hear what the drivers are saying. What do you think you would say if you were going 200+ MPH and there were 30 other cars very close to you? I am pretty sure what I would be saying wouldn't be kid friendly!!!!

Oh my goodness! It looks like you had a great time with your mom and sister. Pretty cool to have the opportunity to see everything up close like that. I've never been to a Nascar race, never really thought it would be "my thing" seemed kinda "redneck"? LOL! ;) (I know your family is definitely not that!) I should give it a try some day!! :) You can rent headphones and listen to the drivers talking while they're racing???
