| - My first NASCAR race, so here we are at Charlotte Motor Speedway. My friend won some tickets in a giveaway and I was the first one to raise my hand, so here we are at Charlotte Motor Speedway. It was a Saturday night on a race weekend, so here we are at Charlotte Motor Speedway. And after bringing a case of Coors Light (its the official beer of NASCAR, donchaknow?) and some fried chicken and some hot dogs, here we are at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
After wandering around looking for parking, we ended up paying $20 which was WAY too much. There's some "free" parking that's even closer and so I'd recommend that you try that out next time. Instead, here we are tailgating with beer and hot dogs and chicken at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
A long walk to get to one corner of the place, we managed to hook a trolley ride to get us from where we were (near turn one) all the way around to turn four. That's a lot of walking that we ended up doing, here at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Inside (keep the beer, leave the umbrellas), we found our way to the seats. Fortunately, an "evening" race so we didn't have to deal with the bright sun. And the race only started about 20 minutes late, which was plenty of time to drink a few more beers, make friends with the people nearby, and think about a run to the concession stands here at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
The race was amazing. Really really exciting, really really loud, and for most of it, I had absolutely no idea what was going on. But hey, I'm still a newbie at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Tip: EAR PLUGS!
