Nothin like it. I got to go to the 400 in Daytona a few years ago. It was almost as good as being at the strip lol.

This will make my fourth voyage to the Brickyard. The first was a shiznits and giggles run just to check out the place. I couldn't take the track tour because there was a Winston Cup team testing, so I got to watch that going on. The second was to watch Nextel Cup Qualifying and the IROC race. The third time, I took my wife and her boys up there. Now, we get to rock and roll to the qualifying for the centennial race

Racing's nothing new on my end ...it is, for my wife. The first time I took her and her boys to a race was at Clarksville (TN) Speedway, the local dirt track. Well, we go out to eat, then head to the track. Boy, she got all prettied up, and wondered why I wasn't wearing my Sunday's Best. The jeans she wore that night still have Tennessee clay in them

Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway's been hit up, a couple of times. Sunday Family Funday, the All-American 400, and a few other deals, there.

Nashville Superspeedway has been visited for races, as well. The first time was for the ARCA & Busch Grand National race. The second time, we were guests of Frank Cicci and got to watch the whole race from pit road. I got to meet Carl Edwards, that go around

Then, there's been a few other places we've gone to watch racing. Beech Bend Raceway, in Bowling Green, twice.

It's a firm belief of mine that families that race together stay together ...so ...
