April 27, 2008
I was up as usual bright and early and I sat outside for an hour or so to let the guys sleep in a little before getting them up and moving.
At 10:30 we were dressed, fed, bags packed and heading to our seats for the Aaron's 499 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race.
I got to meet up with a friend from JGN and we chatted for awhile before the race started.
It was a great race. 55 lead changes among 22 different drivers, bump-drafting, and wrecked cars. A few blown tires and the "Big One" happened on the last lap that took out a lot of the front running cars. Kyle Busch won with lots of help from Juan Pablo Montoya.
The skies were cloudy and gray most all of the day, but it was still warm. The forecast was for rain in the afternoon, but it didn't happen until we were back to the RV after the race. In fact, Rudy was grilling our dinner and it started to pour. It rained most of the evening and throughout the night, too.
Monday - April 28
We woke up at 5:30 CT and got dressed and packed up and we were on the road by 6:00. Unfortunately, 20 miles down the road we lost an hour with the time change into EST, and we ran into some rain on the drive home in several locations and lots of road construction to slow us down. All is well, though and we should be safe and sound at home no later than 5:30 p.m.
We had a great weekend and can't wait to be on the road again real soon.
Next Trip: Charlotte, NC -for the Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe's MotorSpeedway!
See ya on the Road!
