Watching JEFF GORDON take the Checkered Flag on the last lap - PRICELESS!!
As you can tell, we had a great time. Wouldn't have missed it for anything! We arrived at the Speedway around 1o:30 Central Time and made our way to some seats to watch Cup Practice. Then we did a little browsing at the merchandise trailers before Happy Hour Practice at 2:30. We got there and they announced that Jeff was so pleased with his car that he wasn't going to practice this last hour. So I had to take pictures of the other drivers as they practiced.
RACE DAY - Sunday - I got up before the guys and walked around the campground taking some pictures of the sunrise and the campground. Rudy fixed a great breakfast, as usual, and we sat and enjoyed the cool morning breeze before heading to the track. We had Tri-Oval Tower, Row 60 Seats. We were right across from Victory Circle and could see the whole track. I definitely was not going down once I got up there either! So glad we brought sandwiches, snacks and drinks with us. I shot over 900 pictures on Race Day and 500+ the rest of the weekend, now I have to choose which ones to print!
We left he track around 9:00 p.m. Central time and drove to McDonough, GA, got a nice hotel room for the night and hit the road bright and early Monday morning (today), so that we can be back to work on tomorrow.
I love making memories with Rudy and our friend, Cully. We sure do eat well and we have a great time at the Races together.
See ya next time.........We are heading to Atlanta for our next Racing Adventure at the end of this month.
See ya on the Road!
