Day 78

Day 78, Tuesday, August 19, 08:

We didn't think that we had anything to do today until Laura called this morning. She needed to go and pick up Roger's truck race tickets at the track. So we all piled in the CampQ van and headed down Volunteer Blvd.

Today was the last day that we could drive in around the track so we were excited to get up and close to the race preparations going on.


It is almost impossible to describe what is going on at Bristol Motor Speedway during race week. We came up on the pace cars for the truck race and the cup races in the parking lot. Ben thought this was way cool.

We headed into the building and discovered the Bristol Experience Museum. We have never been in there. Laura had the time, so we went through it. We even saw a short movie about the track.

It isn't hard to tell who is Ben's favorite driver.




We headed over to the gift shop and Ben picked out a souvenir. He got a piece of the old start/finish line from the track. It is up in a place of honor on his NASCAR shelf in his room. He is really psyched for the race now!
