My friend Cassie is a volunteer at the track, and she gets two free tickets for the race. She heard me say a while back that it would be fun to experience Talladega at least once while we are here, so she made it happen and gave us her two extra tickets.
This is the only sporting event that Michael has gone to without knowing a single thing about it, and it goes without saying that I was totally lost! With no time to read Nascar for Dummies, the only preparation needed was deciding whether Michael should wear his cutoffs or not! Thankfully, he wore khaki shorts instead. We were prepared to see lots of drunks with rebel flags and women clad in bathing suit tops and daisy dukes with cowboy boots, but the atmosphere was pretty tame and I don't recall seeing one rebel flag.
We did however see a lot of Skoal tents!!!
Driving the flag during the National Anthem
My favorite part was seeing how fast they change out tires on Pitt Road
Having fun at the race!
The next race is in October...we've got five months to prepare ;)
