My Race Weekend Overload (pic heavy)

[Starscream]

That was a good race yesterday. Only wish Montoya's dominance could have paid off at the end. Hope you had fun at the big race, Sean.

Got to hang with my brother, so good time was had. The race was boring. They went from one extreme to the other. Felt bad for Montoya, as did most of the fans around us.

Photobucket being a bit tempermental for me tonight, so I will get picks up as soon as I can.

Thanks for looking!

Without further ado, here is the rest of my weekend.

As I mentioned before, Saturday was rainy, cool and blustery. Felt more like October than July. But about 1pm the sun came out, temp went up and everything dried out.

Got meet a couple of the crews as well. The crew from Steven Wallace's crew had good time with us. I was wearing a #88 Navy hat with the name of their boss on it when he was the driver. I bought the hat the week he was fired and replaced. They thought it was funny that they had found their boss's one fan. Took a pic of the hat and then wanted me to sign it so they could give it to their boss. We went back and forth and a good trade, but I think my buddy's wife scared them off.

This batch of pics and vids is from the Nationwide race. They are not quite as good as the truck race pics. We were really sardined in and got jostled quite a bit. I also had to deal with a couple of kids, who instead of standing up in the stands, would stand on the seat of the person in front of them, so I had to aim high.

Enjoy!

Hauler pics. Notice the standing water. Diehard fans or stupid morons? You decide.



After the wind died down and the sun came out, got to enjoy a nice 5 Vegas Gold.

This race they honor the military. Always nice.

Hit his mark.

The customary big flag

Same flyover as Friday, but a different angle

Parade lap


Video of the start. Always the best part of the race. As you can see, I was reaching for the video so my aim is not so good.


Ckeck the oil and clean the windshield please!


A couple of action shots.

And lastly, the winner, Carl Edwards. I tried to snap a pic of his backflip but got bumped just as he went. This is the result.


This was a great race. Edwards and Busch battling it out until Busch got into the wall. Got to see the rookie, Bayne, nearly hit the pace car. Good times.
