Nascar 2009

I was there...and somehow missed it!! I saw the start of the wreck and was watching Michael Annett, Brendon Gaughn and that group, and missed Joe rolling behind them! Ralph saw Joe land, but mised him on his lid.

We had a great time. Nashville is an awesome track and I would love to go back. I love the fan walk and the all access was very cool too! I got a ton of autographs (including Joey Lagano, Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards) and lots of pictures. We watched the first 1/2 the race from behind pit road and being that close to the track is just awesome!

I have to get taxes done tonight, but then I will try to get pictures up.

I am so glad that you liked it. I love the Nashville track, but then I always wonder if I am biased because it is so close. I'm glad you were able to watch from the fan walk. You don't see the backstretch, but I agree, it is an awesome experience. Can't wait for pictures. And tell us about how the drivers' meeting was please.

my first sheetmetal! It's from Bobby Hamilton Jr's car from a couple years back. I hate that he's not driving this year. He's a grumpy lil' bugger but I really like him.

I can't believe I got this much for 70 bucks delivered, let alone somebody I actually like. It's in 2 pieces but that's OK with me

I've been to races at Phoenix, California, Michigan, Kentucky and now Nashville. I think Nashville has the best set up of these tracks, and makes it easiest to see all the way around the track. I would definately go back.

I took way too many pictures to post, so I'll just put a link. There are about 315 pictures, and about 200 of them are from the race!

Okay, maybe I'll add one picture, in case Robin is lurking around...

Wow, I've never seen the stands so empty. Not even after the night race was rained out and they ended up having to race on Sunday. So sad. Looks like you had a great time though!

[Cincy'sMom]

The driver's meeting was okay...they had them in a tent and then the outside of the tent roped off where you could stand. They had some speakers set up outside. We did get over there a little too late...it was already about 4-5 people deep. Instead, we stood up in front of the tent, directly where across from where they would come out of themeeting. Couldn't hear much of anything.

I think if I were to go back, I'd get over there sooner to get closer and hear more of it!

[Cincy'sMom]

Are we ready for some Saturday night racing? If Jimmie wins, again, I will find a way to get to Phoenix in Novmber. He has never won when I was there, but has one ever race since the last time I was out there.....

There's no crying in racing!



Roush showed some real class after the race....

YEA!!!!!


I am going to buy Kelloggs SOMETHING next time I shop....


Too freaking cool! Let's hear it for old guys!


And I liked his thank you to his wife!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Yeeeeee~HAW!!

Go 5 ~~~ GO MARK!!

Let's hear it for the "Old Guy"!!

[Cincy'sMom]

Well, if a Hendrick car had to win, it didn't break my hear that it was Mark. It was very cool to see all the other drivers and owners that came to Victory Lane to congratulate him. And since Tony was #2...not a bad night at all

Robin, I have to say, I might like Carl just a tad more after going to Nashville....he was very cool about visiting with fans on his way to qualifying, on his way back from qualifying, when he came out of the media center. Anytime there were fans around, he stopped to say hello, take a picture or sign something. Most other drivers did going one way or the other, but he did if everytime he was going anywhere.

Nope, I wasn't dreaming, there it was, in the paper this morning!

I can hardly wait for my magazine to come on tuesday!
