After missing last year's race, went today for my 9th Brickyard. Thought I'd share some pics.


The start of the race. All 43 cars coming right at us and diving into turn 1. Still giggle like a little kid. <click the pic>

And lastly, our new hero, "Mullet Man" It never moved the entire day. We debated real? Helmet? Wig? He was rockin the business in the front and the party in the back...:-)

I've been twice and will never go back. Probably one of the worst nascar races on the circuit because unless there's a caution to bring the field close to one another, there's hardly any passing at all. I've sat at the start/finish line on the outside and inside of the track and been able to see turns 1 & 4, so it has nothing to do with the seats.

It's just a boring race to watch, although I must admit watching part of it at the end today. It was refreshing to see a fresh face win one though.

Great video. I love turn 1 and turn 4 action. Atlanta Motor Speedway is the only track I've been to and it is awesome.

Thanks for sharing brother. Looks like you had a great time!!!

I need a haircut like the mullet man!

Awesome pics, Wheeee!
[Reply]

Thanks for sharing Sean! I absolutely love NASCAR and I was hoping my boy Gordon would have won, but I am glad to see Menard win since he has never won before :-)

A win is a win, but fuel mileage races suck worse than rain shortened races.:-)
[Reply]

I agree about fuel mileage races sucking. But for Dale Earnhardt Jr. (who absolutely sucks) that is the only way he can win :-)
