BEST RACE EVER!!!!

Most of you know that since working for Rubbermaid I became some what of a NASCAR fan. So, for 9 years, I have been to a race at least once a year, and a couple of years 2 in a year. Needless to say, I have became a much bigger fan. My friend Renae and I have made it a goal of ours to go to one together at least once a year. So, this year we went to Martinsville, VA this past weekend. I flew into Charlotte where Renae lives, we hung out and just relaxed on Saturday and then ALL DAY SUNDAY we spent in the pit/garage area of the Martinsville track. It was by far the BEST RACE I have been too, and like I said I have been to A LOT. I will explain more why with the pictures below.

Here we are on the track...love this girl and the fact that we share these funtimes, not everyone gets it


This is ONE of the BIGGEST reasons the day was such a success and one of the BEST. Carl Edwards is my favorite driver and I have tried for 6 LONG years to get a picture with him or even an autograph. AND THIS YEAR it finally happened for both Renae and I. If you can't tell I am VERY excited. And to make it even better we were the only ones he took a picture with.


We have been on many pit/garage tours, but this year got the HOT pass, meaning we had behind the scenes access for the entire race and could even watch the race from there. It also meant that we got to go to Victory Lane. We have never gotten to do that before, so YAH another thing marked off our list. And although Carl didn't win, it was still fun to see the excitement and Tony Stewart get out of the car.

This was our view for the entire race...we stood from 9:15 - 6:15, but all of it was totally worth it. We stood in Carl's pit box the entire time, watching his team get him a great finish. Again, another reason why this was a great race.

Here is to making next year even better, if that is even possible. HA
