Sunday, May 25th:
It was finally here! Race Day In Charlotte! The Race didn't start until 5 p.m., so we took our time in the morning and had a great lunch at MacAlister's before going to the Track. We got a great parking spot (we hoped) and walked over to do all the pre-race stuff before finding our seats. The Pre-Race Show on the Track was spectacular. Got great pictures of the cars coming onto the track and lining up. The fly-over was amazing and then the four words we'd been waiting to hear all day, "Gentlemen, START YOUR ENGINES".
What a great day! There were some dull spots during the racing, but for the most part there was a lot of side-by-side racing, position changes and in the end, Kasey Kahne took the Checkered Flag!
Our parking spot turned out to be very good and we didn't have to wait long getting out to the road - Rudy did good!! Everyone was exhausted when we arrived at the hotel and ready to hit the beds!
We left to return home at 7:15 a.m. on Monday, May 26 and arrived in Apopka to drop Janine off at 6:00 p.m. - Great Trip - Loads of Fun with Great Race Fans & Friends!!
Can't wait until we can do it again!!
