Friday it rained and rained, but then about 3 it stopped. They dried the track, ran cup qualifying and we went to the Nationwide Race. Saturday, we showed up at the track about 1 p.m., sat in the sun in our lawn chairs for about 3 hrs in the beautiful sun (about 80 degrees), read, and enjoyed the afternoon. The race was very exciting. As usual, during the last 100 laps there were a fair numbers of wrecks, but Regan Smith, from a one team garage won the race (his first cup race). His win was somewhat overshadowed by the behind the scenes drama. There was a wreck involving Kyle Busch and 2 RCR drivers, Bowyer and Harvick. Bowyer ended up hitting the wall and Harvick continued on, apparently very upset with Busch. At the end of the race, Harvick pulled into the pits and Kyle pulled in behind him. Harvick jumped out of his car and it looked like he threw a punch into Kyle in his car. Kyle pealed out, pushing Harvick's empty car into the pit wall. Afterward, both driver's ended up in the NASCAR hauler (like the principal's office). We will find out Tuesday if either or both of them get fined, warned or put on suspension.
One of the exhibits we went to on Saturday allowed Roy to picture himself as a NASCAR driver (see pic)
