NASCAR Weekend

We had a wonderful time at the race and as you can see we were all representing our boy Jeff Gordon.. And what a frustrating race. He led over 200 laps and then his pit crew chief chose to only change 2 tires instead of 4 and slowly Jimmy Johnson reeled him in and beat him in the last 30 laps. I was so tense as it slowly wound down that my back still hurts from straining trying to push him forward with my will. See I told you I was weird.

Anyway it was really fun and we got to eat a crappy $9 hamburger washed down with a $7 bottle of coke, so all was well. Tony and Cliff raced on a little slot car track and Cliff came in 2nd and Tony 4th so they had fun. Marty Man met us there and we went over to the SPEED channel booth were they film SPEED preshow and Tony and Cliff got on TV and Tony made a sign that they put on also so he was sooooooo happy and had to call his Dad and tell him. I didn't find any new merchandise to buy. I did want to get my girls Danica Patrick tee shirts but people were 70 deep at the trailer plus they didn't have anything cute. I mean with the godaddy.com logo you would think they would go all out for some sexy shirts but it was just cheap tee shirt junk. Every time we are at the track I think they should hire me for marketing. I don't know who does their marketing but if you can't sell me NASCAR stuff, then you need to go home.

It turned out that I didn't even use my new handicap status parking. I called the track before we left and they told me they were holding all parking lots that were not pre-paid parking passes (at $59.00 no less) for one hour after the race including handicap. We said no way and parked in one of the dirt lots on Las Vegas Blvd the farthermost out towards APEX. We knew we could get right out of that one. It was a little bit of a walk for me but my feet are so much better it was no big deal. We just took our time and once we were there we drove right out with no wait at all. COOL.

There was a hundred cops on the road home (Tony slept all the way) but we managed to make it without getting pulled over. I was tired once we got home so Cliff made us a BLT and soup and then we just chilled out. It was a really fun day and I am so glad I felt good and was able to go.
