Off to the races (the Busch race that is)

We were able to go the Busch race today (for free....thanks Dan!!!) and had a wonderful time. It was our first time to one of the big races, and boy did we get spoiled. We were in a suite (namely the UPS suite - which was quite funny considering John works for the competition) where we got free food and drinks, and we didn't have to sit out in the cold. It was great!!
Before the race began, we went down to try and get in the pits (because we were told we would have access) and try to hook up with Team Marine (my brother Doug is in like flint with those guys) but when we got down there (after walking a country mile) we were denied. Well, after all was said and done - the security team was messed up with their instructions, and we were suppose to have been allowed in the pit area....grrrrr....oh well. Wasn't meant to be.
Tony wasn't racing in the Busch race today (doggonit) but I did get to watch him qualify for tomorrow's race. Not as much fun as the "real" thing - but it was cool anyway.

Off to the races
