Right, that was really awesome. Imagine a 20 Million dollar project. I also thought that Speed did a really nice tribute to Dale also.

Knoxville is busting at the seams with pride over Trevor's win. It's all over the news with interviews with his family. He started in go-carts when he was just a little kid and has a 10 year old brother following in his footsteps who is just a cute as can be.

For your first in person race I would suggest Bristol night race, or Martinsville. It used to be that you couldn't get tickets to either Bristol race but with the ecomony you can get them now. The short tracks are so awesome, you are on the "side of a bowl" and the noise is intense and you can see the whole track and it is just awesome. I am one of the lucky ones who has always had tickets, most times I go but everyonce in a while life gets in the way and I gift them to my Dad and his wife or one of my friends or sisters. I have been to Dayton twice and don't really like it because you cant see the cars half of the time. It is way too big of a track.

She's right. My first race was Bristol. Jr won both races that weekend, Have been hooked on live racing ever since. Cant touch the rush of a race by watching it on TV. The noise and the smell awesome.

I live smack dab in the middle of NASCAR country and have 1 shop about a mile from my house, Ryan Newman is a close by neighbor, Dale Jr lives about 5 miles from us (it's still weird to see him at the grocery store buying milk :)and several others go to my church. I still love racing as always, it just makes it so much more fun when you know some of them!

Lucky you! Can I come visit you???

Me, too???!!!!
