Brickyard

The name says it all if you know Nascar or Indy and yes, we got to go to the race this year. Well see we had went one other time, 10 years ago and to be honest I was a little disappointed. The track is so large you don't see alot of action, especially in the back. But this time they were FREE tickets, Jason won them from a local radio contest so not going to pass up the opportunity to go for FREE. Then we found out that John & Missy were to go too and their tickets were close to us - yeah!! Sad part ended up being that Missy's grandpa was very sick and they could not go, RIP Cliff. So extra tickets were up for grabs and Jason's brother Jon and his girlfriend, Sharon decided to go. So we did the switch Grandma got Gretchen and Delaney for the day and we got Jon and Sharon, lol. And off to Indy we went. Now if you again know anything about the track in Indy you are in ghetto! So we parked in ghetto took everything out valuable and started walking towards the track, which it is daylight and there are lots of people so not as scary! The sights yes, fear for your life, I think that would happen when the sunlight sets. And the experience was AMAZING because these seats were on pit row, yes that is an actual pic of pit row, no zoom needed!! And we had to go to the infield to even get to our seats, so you got to have the experience of all the promotional trailers, walking past the RV of the drivers section, etc. Too cool!! So needless to say now I would go back to the Brickyard again, but only if we could have awesome seats like this year! The only thing better would have been if Dale Jr. would have won or at least been able to finish the race, which my smarta** daughter Gretchen so graciously called to say to me. Of course, you really can't hear at the track so I didn't hear my phone ring, but then once the race was over I realized I had an message and it was Gretchen saying "bet you are disappointed mom, just say Dale Jr. go to the garage." Ugh that girl, good thing I already had her surprise, lol.
