So my mom just called to say that she has 2 tickets for me from the Home Depot for the Food City race in Bristol. I am SOOOOO excited! Home Depot has been trying to get my parents business (they are contractors) and they sent the tickets to let them know how "valuable" they are to the HD. My parents know nothing about racing, so we inherited the tix - yipee!
I am MOST excited about our pit tour and our session with Tony. I am bringing a picture of his namesake (my cat, Twenty) for an autograph which will go over our fireplace mantle - LOL!!
The cutest thing was mom telling me where our tickets where. She said "in the Kulwicki Terrace" but instead of saying Kulwicki, she said "Que-la-wick-ee" -- it was so funny.
I went to a race in Fort Worth a year or two ago. My sister had free tickets b/c the company she worked for gave them to corporate employees. It was really exciting, and I have to say, I really liked some of the painted messages on car windows in the parking lot. ("Officer, I'm not speeding. I'm Qualifying!")
I'm a big fan, and went the truck race at Atlanta Friday night (cold as hell).
If you're going to Bristol, get there real early because they have huge crowds, and STEEP hills. There are some trams which will haul you up the hills. I wish there were more tracks like Bristol.
I was just at the race on Sunday - box seats from one of Hubbie's vendors. I can't say I'm a huge fan, but after Sunday I do have a new found respect for it. We went down to the grandstand just before we left, and I couldn't believe it, you can't even tell what color the cars are as they go by!

Do any of you ever stay in the infield? I have a friend that stays in the Dega infield every race and she says it's an experience to remember. How is is staying there?
