Rusty Wallce, Truck Race and Monster dedication


On Friday, May 30th we got up and went to the track's Victory circle to get Rusty Wallace's autograph. We went to the Truck Race afterward. Saturday was the dedication of the new "Monster" sculpture which is 46 feet tall. The car the monster is holding is a regulation size Sprint Car. We also went to a ceremony honoring Bobby Allison. We had heard Bobby talk and tell stories at Charlotte, as well as got his autograph. The plan at Dover is to honor a driver who made their name on the Monster mile each year and add a large plague honoring them beneath the monster sculpture. The National race was rained out big time with tornado warnings about 100 miles south of us. The rain, lightening and storm is big here at the track though!
