We went to the Nascar Race at TMS. Kerry Don didn't start out the trip very well. He was loading up the trailer that we haul behind the camper Wednesday night, and sprained his ankle stepping off of it. I took him to the ER for an Xray. It was not broken just sprained real bad. Thank goodness for Jack Todd, he hauled Kerry Don around, and he took us down in the pitt area. It was WAY cool. This is KD and I in front of our favorite driver's pitt, Biffle #16.
This is pitt row where every driver's crew has their tires, gas, crew chiefs, etc...
Me standing by pitt ROAD... prerace, during driver introductions.
Tami, Meg, me and Leslie at the Nationwide RACE on Saturday. Our seats were in the sun and it was a pretty day!
Kerry Don leaning on the wall...prerace Sunday!
Our view of the beginning of the race! Right on turn four! It was awesome.
Jack's the MAN. He works down at TMS during races. He gave us first class treatment, plus he saved Kerry Don since he had a hard time getting around.
PreRACE the fire fighters, EMTs, Chaplain and Jack on the end... they line up just like the pitt crews do during the national anthem and prayer. It looks neat to see them all lined up across pitt road.
Sitting in the stands, in the shade on Sunday during the race. It was sooo COLD! Tami made these blankets for us... they were great!
Kerry Don and I on Saturday at the Nationwide race... this was the WARM nice day... the only bad things was Kyle Busch won the race and we're not FANS of him.
The pace car pulled out right by us on Sunday before the race.
After the prerace introductions, the drivers get in the back of a pickup and ride around the track waving at the crowd.... Then some of them got out on turn 4 where we were standing. Unfortunately, Biffle didn't but I got some pictures of some of the other drivers. Bobby Labonte is from Texas and very popular here!
Bill Elliot, a legend, in the nascar world.
Reed Sorenson... a young driver.
Michael Waltrip... not a fan AT all, but he's a face everyone reckognizes.... He walked right in front of us.
The BUS and the trailer we pulled... we love the BUS!
Kerry Don's ankle... the swelling is down but it's turning all different colors.
Sunday night we had steaks on the grill! We ate good the whole time. We had beans, ham and cornbread on Friday and it ended up being everyone's favorte meal. Then, Saturday they fried gizzards! We're glad to be home but always have a great time at the races. Our driver, Greg Biffle got 3rd. He led about half the laps, but had a bad pitt stop and lost some spots.
