Make sure ur wallet is full and you have a good set of binos with ya. Food and drinks are $$$$$, especially if ur drinkin beer. Oh, and take a cab the last 5 miles. You'll save money parking and it will take you less time to get in/out of there, unless ur plannin on tailgating.
My oldest drives a cab :toast so you know who is driving. We plan on making a day of it. He has never been to a race either so this is going to be fun.
2AM and we just got home. :sleep :sleep :sleep The race was great. :rockon :rockon
We woundered why it took so long to clean this up.
Pre-race stunt catches fire in CharlotteEmail Print Comments7 Associated Press
CONCORD, N.C. -- A father and son have escaped injury after a pre-race stunt gone bad caused a fiery wreck on the frontstretch at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
About two hours before Saturday's Sprint Cup race, the daredevil known as Spanky Spangler was driving around the track in a beat-up recreational vehicle with 'Hold my beer. Watch this' spray-painted on one side.
He was chased by a police cruiser driven by his son, Bryan Spangler. There were a series of planned explosions just as the cars approached a jump. But the bottom of the RV caught fire and landed nose-first on top of junk cars next to the ramps.
It took several minutes for rescue personnel to get the elder Spangler from the RV. He walked to an ambulance and was treated and released from the infield care center.
