Bristol Motor Speedway




Wow, what a racetrack! We arrived in Bristol Monday night and got the RV parked and situated. Tuesday was a tech day for us and the Craftsman Trucks had their practice. Wednesday was more practice for our series, qualifying, and race day. We had a good day, but it was incredibly HOT!! I can't remember ever being so hot for such a long time, as I was Wednesday. It didn't help that we had to wear long pants, shirts with sleeves, and closed toe shoes. Anyway, we qualified 25th out of 50 cars. Once the race started we were doing good, starting to pass some cars, but early in the race we got mixed up in someone's wreck. We were able to stay in the race and the damage wasn't real bad, but after any kind of damage it's hard to have a really good night! We ended up finishing 26th. We had a really fun few days, and were glad we took home a car pretty much in one piece cause it could've been alot worse!
