NASCAR

Last weekend (November 2-3), Brian and I drove to Dallas/Fort Worth to go to the Nascar race. My friend, Kristin (with a K ;) works for Jim Beam and they happened to be having a party deck for the race. She got us VIP passes which included all race events on Saturday and Sunday, pre-race pit passes for the Nascar race, headsets with radios that followed any driver you wanted to hear, free food and beverages, and we didn't have to walk anywhere...we were delivered everywhere via golfcarts. We sat about 15 feet from the track and the noise was unreal. We were so close that tire shreds were being blown up on us throughout the entire race. Brian had a blast...it was like a dream come true! Unfortunately, Dale Jr. did not win the race but Brian still had fun watching him try. Thanks so much to Kristin & Jim Beam for giving us such an unforgettable experience! On Saturday night, we went out to Fort Worth and spent the evening with Bryce & Trish. We ended up spending the entire time at their house watching Texas Tech beat the hell outta those t-sippers!!! Out of the 12-14 people there, only 2 were stupid enough to root for UT. The rest of us were Aggie fans and all have the same mindset - ANYBODY but Texas!!! Poor little Colt McCoy looked like he was gonna cry...poor baby. Maybe we should get him a t-sip crying towel. Anyways...overall it was a fantastic weekend. We were able to stay at Kristin's house like it was our own private suite. We had a great time and I hope that one day, Brian can enjoy the race like that again...but next time with his daddy!
