Nascar 2009

Last weekend I headed down to Phoenix to visit some friends and hit up the Nascar race. It was definitely quite the experience. We were able to go on a tour of the garages, pit row, see the drivers up close and personal (I'm all about seeing celebrities even if they are Nascar celebrities), watch the driver introductions, and see a few laps from the top of the Sprint tower. I have to say that before this I wasn't extremely interested in Nascar, but I quite like it now.

Miriam suggested that I try the AMAZING gas station located in Phoenix. We made a stop at QT on the way to the race. I totally concur with Miriam....it was AMAZING!!!

Fixing something with the tires on the UPS car. We were able to see them working on the cars and getting them up to par for the race regulations. It was pretty awesome.

When we first got our picture with this girl, Erin and I were so confused......we had no idea why we were taking a picture with her. Later we found out she was Miss Sprint Cup. Who knew they had a Miss Sprint Cup?

Inside of one of the cars.....pretty complex to me.

This is Rachel's driver....had to get a picture with his car. For those of you who don't know who number 48 is.....Jimmie Johnson.

Jeff Gordon was my driver. Here I am standing in front of his pit.

Here's Jeff Gordon at driver introductions. Unfortunately he had some misfortunes with his car and didn't win the race.

Cam, Colt, and I watching the race. And to everyone that thinks Nascar is WT....it definitely still is after seeing it in person, but it was very fun and quite enjoyable.
