The race itself wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be.

The track was definitely the big question. Mo better than before...lots of 2 wide in the turns and lots of 3 wide coming out of turns 2 and 4. They did not expect to see any of that this year.

KK guys gave the boy a souvenir? I hope he doesn't switch drivers now. :)

Cost a buck, forget which charity it was for.

On Sunday the boy wore a Reed Sorenson hat and shirt, and spent most of his time at Reed's stall. Around 10:00 we were at a table eating when 3 of Reed's crew came walking through, they all 'high 5'd' him and one said, "I saw you on the upper level watching us."

I had to tie the boy down, thought he was going to float away. He was jazzed, to say the least. Reed has been a favorite since last year, got to meet him.

I think it was more a matter of what he could see. On Friday he spent most of his time at Dale Jr's stall. On Sat there was a lot more people, after the crowd at Jr's stall got too big he went to Reed's. On Sunday he spent the first 30 minutes at Jr's stall, then the crowd arrived. He liked hanging out on the back side, right above the garage door, watching crew and car come and go. He could not do that at Jr's - too many people.

Come race time it was all Dale Jr. We rented one of those Nextel Fan View units (very cool) and I made the mistake of letting him 'have command' of it. Locked on #8. It was a battle when I wanted to scan or go see another driver!

OT

Bush 41 collapsed playing golf in Palm Springs.

Of course it was in the 90's...........I give him credit for being out there.......the desert sun is murder and there isn't much shade on a golf course unless you hit the ball in the trees. :)

He's ok.

How do you get to the track...
What time do you leave...
How long does the trip take...
How close to the strip do you live...

I'm trying to get a idea how traffic has improved since race 1 and 2.

Was 8 cautions more than normal?
