This is the fifth year that Janine and I have come to Charlotte for the Coca-Cola 600. Rudy is with us this year and Wendy is not. It is a little sad to leave her behind this year, but with little Jake, she's got her hands full this year!! We left Apopka at 9:15 p.m. and drove until approximately 1:30 a.m. where we stopped in the SC Welcome Center to get some shut-eye. We woke up at 6:00 a.m. and continued out journey. We stopped for breakfast at Cracker Barrel and upon our arrival in the Charlotte/Concord area were visited several Race Shops and then went to Qualifying at 6:00 p.m. before heading to our hotel! We finally crashed about 11:30 p.m. Oh yeah, almost forgot - Can you believe that we walked into Ruby Tuesday's for lunch and there sitting was the CREW for the 24 Team. I talked with them and wished them good luck and had my picture taken with them.
Now it is 8:15 and we are about to hit the road again, heading towards Statesville, NC to Evernham Motor Sports to see if we can catch a glimpse of Elliott Sadler and others. There are other stops on our agenda, but no one knows where we will end up. I'll try to keep you posted as we make our journey today!
