NASCAR Diehards…

Well I never consider myself a Diehard NASCAR Fan… but I sure love the fun. It was an incredible weekend with family and friends camping at Texas Motor Speedway. Even if you are not into the racing part… you are automatically sucked in to the excitement by just being around the crew. We tell the same stories, have a similar agenda, but it really doesn’t matter because each year a little something is added and the memories keep get better.

I honor my drivers by the sponsor and the number of the car. So I have lots of favorites. I like #2 because it’s the Miller Lite Car, then, #7 Danica Patrick because my favorite number is 7, plus she's a chick!! Then there is Budweiser… cause it is Beer, Crown Royal… cause it’s a cool color & whiskey, Geico… for the “here lizard, lizard, lizard”, Aflac… just because we love making that duck sound, and of course M&Ms… cause who doesn’t like those little chocolate guys!!

Well this year was definitely the year of rain… both Saturday and Sunday’s race got rained out and proposed to Monday. A lot of people lost money on their tickets including us. It spoiled the “big” fun but we still had fun. Saturday afternoon while waiting for the rain to clear we played “Redneck Horseshoes”. Yup, medal hockey sticks as the stakes and commercial grade toilet seats as the shoes. Absolutely hilarious!!! We even gain spectator traffic. The champions where of course Marc and I!! This was one of many events that entertained us. Then you can’t forget the food… food… and more food!

Another great year, thanks ya’ll… can’t wait to do it again!! But next year, I am buying myself some rubber boots.
