NASCAR

Bringing out the #99 car and getting it ready.
Next year Carl will have a different car. He is not being sponsored by Office Depot next year but only by Aflac. Tony Stewart (YUCK) will be going from Home Depot to Office Depot next year.



The lady (don't know her name, but Jason would) from the sports channel was doing the news while we were standing there.


These are the guys who work with Carl. They have actually touch and talk to him!! It is amazing how fast they can change 4 tires, gas up, clean the windshield and whatever else they do in about 12 seconds!! It's fun to see.
Here is the pit crew at work.
The cars were racing and then next thing they had red flagged for sprinkles. The cars were stopped for about 20 minutes waiting for the sprinkles to stop and then drying off the track.
This is Saige's car. She LOVES Kyle Busch! When we watch the races on TV she will yell "Go Kyle Busch, go Kyle Busch". She likes his pink M&M car too. They had his showcar at Fry's by our house and she got to see it and get a picture of Kyle, and now all she talks about is getting his autograph. I found out that you can mail them things and they will sign it and mail it back. That is probably the only way she will ever get it signed.
This is Clint Bowyer's car. Jason likes this #07 car. We found out that next year Clint Bowyer will be driving the #33 Cheerios car, so Jason will have to get some new gear.

Did you touch the tires that touched the car that touched the driver that you LOVE?!

AWESOME PICTURES! We're not big NASCAR fans, but we don't like Tony Stewart either. His name is 'mud' in our home! :D
