The race was a blast!!! Just got back to Ohio a few hours ago, and I have 100 of 156 pictures uploaded...the rest shoudl finish soon and I'll edit to add a link...
We got Pre-Race Pit passes, and got to see the cars going through inspection and being pushed out on pit road. I was amazed how close you could get to the tools boxes and the tires and everything. There was plenty of security around, but I was still surprised. I bought a few lug nuts from denny's car (they were selling them for $1 to raise money for Charity).
After they kicked us off pit road, I made my way about around the track, over to the Speed Stage to catch the end of Race Day. I got right up next to the stage, and the camera did fly over a few times, so I may have been on TV there. My dad said he thought he saw me, but wasn't sure. I got some good pictures of Jimmy Spencer and John Roberts...unfortuantely, as I was walking to the stage, Kenny Wallace was headed to the driver's meeting on his cart. I was within about 1 ft of him, but didn't have my camera at the ready. Also missed getting ashot of Jeff Green, but managed to catch Mikey (Walktrip), Sterling Marlin and Paul Menard. No Tony
The race was a good one for our group. My uncle is Jeff Gordon fan, and my cousin and her husband, Kevin Harvick fans. Along with Tony and Denny, they all lead laps, and all finsihed in the top 10. Tony may not have been happy, and while I would have him prefferd to finish first, #2 isn't so bad. And Bobby had a Top 10. All in all a good night!
Here are the Pictures!
