NASCAR Newbie

This weekend was my first NASCAR experience at the Kansas Speedway for the STP 400 race. Man was it an experience unlike any sporting event I had ever been to. Before the race we were able to walk down in the middle of the track, and look at some of the cars being weighed; we went through the Victory Lane where the winners are awarded; and we got to watch all of the racers be announced on stage.  

The race itself was louder and faster than I had imagined. Ear plugs/headphones were a must, and unfortunately it was difficult for us to even talk to each other with them in. Despite the windy and chilly weather that we were not dressed appropriately for, it was a fun day at the race!

 Here are some pics from our day at the Kansas Speedway
