Daytona Recap

What a weekend. I can honestly say I never thought I would have that much fun at a Nascar race. We had a non-stop party for 3 days. To recap some highlights: Saturday night we went out to eat at Gene's Steak House for boyfriend's 25th birthday. While there, Richard Childress who owns RCR racing ate at the table behind us. sweet. On Sunday we geared up for the race and took a limo to the race track. limo? Yes, I realize we looked slightly ridiculous. I sported my J. Crew and Citizens. hehe. I was wide eyed and in my own little ADHD land. There was SO much to look at and so much going on. Brad Paisley gave an awesome performance before the race started. It was definately a huge thrill seeing all the cars fly at 200 mph and it was so LOUD. I officially want to be a racecar driver. I wanna go fast. Congrats to Trevor Bayne for winning the Daytona 500 on his 20th birthday and being the youngest to ever win! how cool is that?!

 I got to wear these cool headphones and listen

to the driver's talk to each other over their radios.

On the 3rd lap, everyone had a moment of silence and

saluted a "3" in rememberance of Dale Earnhardt.

The only sound was the cars racing by. Very cool.

 

 Celebrating boyfriend's 25th birthday at the race! 

 Here they come, vroom vroom!

500 Fast Lane

True Life: I'm going to the Daytona 500. I'm living life in the fast lane this weekend and heading to FL with boyfriend to attend the Daytona 500. This will be my first ever Nascar experience and race. While I have no clue what to expect, I am looking forward to some quality people watching. I've heard I won't be let down. After a long debate about what exactly does one pack for the 500, I decided to poll my friends. Here are a few of the responses (hilarious):

• 1. wife beaters, jean shorts, trucker hat, and a cooler of bud light
• 2. Cut off shorts and a ripped TShirt and a leather jacket?
• 3. extra hold hairspray for an extreme version of the drunk poof
• 4. pbr and lots of it
• 5. You can leave your bra at home!

I'm sure this is going to be interesting, to say the least. Maybe I'll get lucky and meet Dale, hah! Have any of you ever been to a race? What did you pack?!

Get Em' Groundhog

Punxsutawney Phil woke up this morning and no shadow was seen! Thank you Phil, for sights of spring are near. 10 points goes to anyone that can pronounce Punxsutawney...I sure can't. Happy Groundhog Day!

Fun fact: A groundhog's life span is normally 6 to 8 years. Phil receives a drink of a magical punch every summer during the annual Groundhog Picnic, which gives him 7 more years of life.
