NASCAR BABY!!

I knew nothing about NASCAR until actually going to a race this summer. Jamie educated me on the drive there and during the races. When she wasn't next to me the NASCAR fans around me were kind enough to fill me in. I made a lot of friends because I had a lot of questions. We left Minnesota at night and drove straight through to Michigan. We were there for two days of racing. Good times!! I would totally go again! NASCAR fans are wild!

Stopping at WalMart to pick up some last minute things... and an air-mattress that I forgot.

People write on the walls of pit row. It's so funny!
