My sis-in-laws family was in town for the weekend and stayed in the camper ring at NASCAR with the Peterson clan from Utah. They had an extra ticket for Saturday race Sam's Town 300 and invited me, i said "sure why not! I'll try it once!"
Now I have NEVER been a fan of NASCAR but I recommend everyone attends a live race at least once in their life. It was great!

| Final turn #4 this is the winning placing. Danica came in 4th |
Then My brother told me he could get tickets for Sunday race, the Kobalt 400 and we were going to surprise John with them, Sam was working to get the day off from Army Reserves. No luck, she was there all day so I took John and he was so excited!

I told him Samantha had a surprise for him and I tried so hard to drive all the way there before I told him where we were going, I just couldn't do it.

| excited to be here! |
This escalator that was under the track to the pits went on forever!
