I am tired and worn out and very happy that we decided not to spend today at the race track. I needed time to relax and sleep. I had fun though, even though I did thing about checking out computer rentals and getting a laptop for the weekend so that I could check weather. I still think I should have we ended up getting soaked waiting in line for garage tickets.

Yes the truck garage was awesome and my niece loved it. There are pictures but I didn’t have a camera so I will have to wait until a friend gets them uploaded and to me. It was a fun day and I am looking forward to the Cup race tomorrow.

I’m getting ready for bed and hoping to get some sleep as I have to be up at one in the morning because my sister is crazy and wants to be at the nascar track at 4am. The reason being they are giving away Truck garage passes for the first 500 people to show up. I’m thinking even at 4am there is going to be a line up as there are many campgrounds for the track.

So really I may be getting up at 1 am for nothing really. Sunday I believe we are leaving then too. That I get though. I’m not really that excited about the garage area as my niece is coming with us and I will probably be the one watching her and making sure she doesn’t run off.

I’m a huge NASCAR fan, but even I think this is just a little crazy. Don’t get excited I’m actually on the side of the person suing NASCAR, if all of this can be proven. According to the article I read the women, Mauricia Grant is suing NASCAR for racial and sexual discrimination. She was an official who worked hard but was treated unfairly. Apparently men exposed themselves to her, called her and other women workers lesbians because they didn’t sleep with them or at least flirt back. She was also fired eventually because of her complaining and so was another women. A few officials were named were Balash, assistant series director Mike Dolan, supervisors Alan Shephard and Dennis Dillon.

I don’t find this completely surprising as if you look at NASCAR’s roots, it’s southern. Now I’m not saying that all southern people are like this, but when I lived in Texas I did notice a huge increase in the amount of people that are vocal about their dislike of other races and even the north. I can’t tell you how many times I was told I was a stupid Yankee by one man where I lived.

I hope that the top guys at NASCAR can do something and will do something about this if these allegations are true. That needs to be proven first and it sounds very possible. I guess it will be something to watch out for and see what happens.

I’m watching the NASCAR race, and Brian Vickers was leading and I was happy and then he crashed hard. It sucks! Why couldn’t it be Stewart or Bush! (Kyle). Okay I’m done now, but I’m still not happy. I was all thinking maybe since I haven’t seen a race in 3 weeks he may actually win one. No, grr. Okay I lied I wasn’t done yet, now I am.

Anyway, this just means he will have to win in Michigan this June. That would be cool, cause the first race I ever went to he crashed really early in the race. It was sad, I still had a good time, but it would have been fun to have someone to cheer for. I’ve learned my lesson since then, I now have 3 drivers I like so it should be okay.

Anyway I’m back to the TV.

As many of you know I am a huge NASCAR fan. I’m going to the race in Michigan and actually have some really great seats on the start finish line. Yes I’m excited! This was something that a friend of mine was able to get so I don’t know if we can get it again. That is where sites like seat exchange come in handy. These sites allow you to buy and sell tickets to events. You can sell concert tickets without worrying about standing outside the show to do it.

Last year we really could have used this service as my sister bought a bunch of NASCAR tickets and no one was able to go. She couldn’t even go as they made her work that day. If I had known about this site then she could have sold her NASCAR sports tickets and gotten some if not most of her money back.

As for the site set up itself. It’s really easy to use and has a great look to it. You can decide what type of event you want to go to and narrow it down from there. They only take credit cards so no pay pal guys. It’s okay thats why you get the pay pal debit card right! I don’t know if I would use them to buy my NASCAR tickets as long as my friend can get us them, but there are a few concerts I would think about buying tickets for.

I didn’t see all of the race today as I got into a computer game I was playing, but I did hear all of it and watched most of it. It was a great race and I’m very happy to say Brain made it into the top 10 today so I’m very happy. Maybe it’s the start of a trend! I can only hope.

Anyway I got onto another site after the race was over and someone had posted something about Dale Jr. They asked if he was popular because he’s a good driver or because of his dad. Personally I think it started out because of his dad, it makes sense and there is nothing wrong with liking a guy because you liked his dad. It happens all the time. I do think though that he is a good driver and just needs the experience needed to be a great driver. I’m not a huge fan of his, but I don’t hate him either.

If you watch NASCAR what do you think? Is he a good driver or is he living off his dad?

I’m excited it’s Sunday and it’s race day. The fun part about today is that the race is in Texas a speedway I have actually seen as I lived near Fort Worth for a time. It’s strange looking back as at that time I wasn’t a huge NASCAR fan and I really didn’t care that much about it. At that time I only had watched a few races over a few years, didn’t have a driver I liked and watched it alone as no one else seemed interested. I still thought it was cool and would have gone to a race there if I could, but I didn’t get that chance.

So now I watch on TV knowing I have been there and thinking, now I want to go back. Maybe one day I’ll make it back there sit in the stands and think back to how much I miss it there. Who knows maybe I’ll just move back.

Today I am hoping for a top 10 finish from my guy Brian, we will see. Either way this will be an interesting race.
