Nascar was in town this past weekend and Trav got free tickets through the school district. He ended up getting four so we decided to take Makenna with us. She begged to go last year and she was so excited to go this year! We always get there really early to avoid the crazy traffic that comes with 140,000 people going to the same place. We drove right in and had plenty of time to check out all the cool things that they have on display. Tony's car was the one Chevy that you could take your picture with:-)
Makenna also got those beads from someone and she wore them as a sash:)
We also checked out the Dodge area where they were giving people crazy rides. They were squealing and burning rubber. It really stunk:) Right when we got there, home town boy Kurt Busch was talking to the crowd.
He was Joe's favorite driver last year but not anymore since he had to change from the #2 car:)
Us in the stands!! We were really close...only 15 rows up. We even got black marks on our faces from all the rubber:) Oh, and Trav got a pink face too...lol!
Makenna was very impatient. She wanted all the action to start right when we got there but we had to wait a bit since we got there so early. But I would much rather wait there than in the car:) Once they started racing, she loved it!!
Crazy girl!!
This was the start!! Tony is the first white one on the inside line next to the bright yellow one...Kurt Busch:)
Tony was in the lead for most of the race!!! It was great!! He ended up coming in second because of a messed up pit stop which stunk. He totally should have won!! We left early so that we wouldn't have to sit in hours of traffic. We ended up getting home in 10 minutes and watched the end of the race at home!! It was great!! :)
