Bristol, TN - Sharpie 500




WE ARE HERE! We arrived at the Track at 8:30 Friday morning after we stopped at a local WalMart to get our portion of the groceries for the weekend! We woke Cully up so he could give us specific directions to our campsite. The Site is Great! Way up on top of a mountain over looking the Track and Drag Strip. It is very quiet and clean.

After getting showers and exploring the area, we went down to the Track for Cup Practice. It is very hot here this weekend with temperatures in the 90's, a slight breeze in certain places and a hazy-sunny sky. Thankfully, since we are camping so high, there are golf-cart shuttles that take us to the showers and to the Track from our campsite.

Tonight is the Sharpie 500 NEXTEL Cup Race. We have great seats on the backstretch next to the Tunnel. We can see Victory Circle really well and of course the whole track (it's a 1/2 mile track). I made sure the guys know that I want to go early to get some pictures of the cars all lined up and also so that we can be in our seats for Driver introductions.

See ya at the Race!

What a great picture from the mountain - I didn't know you could see the drag strip so well from up there.
