Drive to Boone, NC from Bristol August 21, 2009
On our first day traveling toward Boone, North Carolina, we noticed this lookout point to take a picture.
Before the Nationwide race on the 394 August 21, 2009
I had to jaywalk, cross the street, right after a police officer made a U-turn and was parked 20 feet from where I took this picture.
The Before NASCAR experience August 21, 2009
I always have to take a picture when I go to a NASCAR race on the Speed set. Remember in Dallas?
Next to Sprint Experience August 21, 2009
I thought that my Sunshine had to get the entire NASCAR experience this time. ;-)

There is a story to this picture. The length I had to go through to get it! And there was an easier way which I later found out!

Pre-race ceremonies August 22, 2009
Mark Martin has always been a class act. It would have been the icing on the cake if he won the race. He won the pole, he led the most laps ... he just placed 2nd, not first! My Sunshine and I was cheering for him!
Pre-race ceremonies August 22, 2009
This was a salute the men and women in uniform who fight for our freedom, and opportunity to enjoy the evening that we did. God Bless America!
During the race August 22, 2009
This is special. The start of the Sharpie 500 in Bristol on the Sprint Cup series!
During the race August 22, 2009
The rain and an accident stopped all the cars on the track! I still hoped that Kyle Busch wouldn't win!
During the race August 22, 2009
It didn't look good. Kyle Busch was leading and his car has been good on the restarts. No one has been able to stop him.
