Let's Go Racing!

Earlier this month, the NASCAR guys were in town to race to World Wide Technology Raceway.  It has been years since I've been to a race, and I've never been to a Cup race, so we decided to go for it.

Lots of fun, but a jam packed weekend.  Here's a few photos, maybe I'll post more all along.

Festivities started Thursday afternoon at Ballpark Village, a pretty low key event with a show car and a couple of Xfinity Drivers.  But we were able to chat with a couple of representatives from the track who helped sort out some logistical questions...  and took a photo of us with a mock trophy.

Friday was another low key day, including a driver appearance (at a local grocery store), Xfinity practice, and a track walk.

The real action started Saturday:  driver signings, Xfinity qualifying, Cup Practice and Qualifying, and the Xfinity race...

Sunday was the main event.  More driver signings, driver introductions, the Cup race, winner circle.  Bands and vendors and displays all along.  And a flyover, of course.  And lots, and lots of people!

Great fun, good father-son time with my adult son (who travelled in for the occasion).  And more than 2x my normal steps/day!
