how close was that flying debris to you?
That was quite a finish
You should have seen the pre-race at Charlotte (Coke 600). Flat awesome. The Army even fired a salute.
Hey Kimmers, who about some pix??
"The most poignant moment came when the noise of the crowd of 300-500,00 were silenced by the playing of Taps honoring our fallen."

That was an INCREDIBLE moment. Hundreds of thousands of people went stone-quiet in a matter of seconds after the start of Taps. I have NEVER seen anything like it. I was stunned. The bugler was very good, and I bet he was proud when everyone went so quiet so fast.
As far as the hollywood Clowns Parade, all I could hear from everyone around us was "who's that?" and "who cares?".
We were at the 4th turn and saw a lot of fire and destruction all day. Watching Buddy Rice scrambling out of his burning car in front of us in turn four was pretty exciting.
Exciting finish.
