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.

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!
