Race in Richmond

So we were only here two days before we headed off to Richmand to watch the Nascar race with mom's friends. We stayed and loved our visit with mom's aunt and uncle who live in Richmond. They fed us well and made sure we had everything we needed for the race, thanks!
We really just got into Nascar this year as dad found a driver that he has been following - Clint Bowyer. So this was our first race. It was a lot of fun - very different than any other sporting event though. We sat across from the entrance to pit row so that was cool.

Mom and dad rented fanview so they were able to listen to the drivers scanners and watch replays, that made it a little easier to follow.

Thanks so much to mom's good friend for inviting us!

Dad finally got a picture of the 07 car going by. Bowyer finished 12th this race but made the chase and got his first win the following week at New Hampshire. We didn't have cable at our house yet so after listening to the race on the radio for a while they headed to Outback to watch the final 70 laps.
