View from my seat! The track! Tony Stewart
I met Stephanie in Charlotte Sunday for the 50th Coca Cola 600 NASCAR race. (The race ticket was my Mothers' Day present!) We went to the track about 11:30 am for the 5:30pm race.

The minute we stepped out of the Jeep, it started to rain. We had ponchos over our Tony Stewart (me) and Dale Jr. (Steph) t-shirts, seat cushions, and NASCAR cooler! We walked around the "hollers" and souvenir shopped. Joey Lagono was signing autographs and I got some good pictures, to post later.
We sat in our seats on turn 1 for about 6 hours, watching the track dry! The pre-race show included pictures and a salute to the 49 previous winners of the Charlotte race. It was "Military Day" and they were honored too.
Shawn Johnson, gymnist and Dancing With The Stars winner, was introduced. I don't know why she was there, but I'm still upset that she won over Gilles! He was the best dancer!
The race was postponed until 12:00 today. It took us 2 1/2 hours to get out of the field parking lot and back to our hotel. We were back at the track this morning at 10:30 and ready to go racin'! It started to rain after about every 20 laps!
The race was finally called at about 7:00 tonight. We left at 3:45, ate dinner, and headed home! I am tired of 36 hours in the rain!
