The BRICKYARD


Well, one thing is for sure... Alabama doesn't have the lock on summertime heat. Indianapolis was a great time but man it was HOT! Gary, Shannon and I decided to leave out Friday night instead of Saturday morning and we drove to Louisville and then drove in the rest of the way on Saturday... great call.

The Saturday race activities were a great time but for me the best part was on Sunday. We walked around for a while before the race, watched the live filming of Speed, the race day program, and walked down to the infield and got to see a personal favorite of mine perform... Charlie Daniels. CDB cranked the tunes and finished his set list with a sweet version of "How Great Thou Art" followed by "The Devil Went Down to Georgia". Nice combo if I have to say so myself.

The race was so stinking hot that we left before it was even over in order to beat the traffic. Way too many caution laps to really enjoy it live. Anyway, as I said in a previous post... sometimes its not what you do its who you do it with.

Talladega... here we come!
