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.

So I’m finally watching the race and there was a huge wreck already, they have red flagged it ( put the race on hold) until the mess is cleaned up. They don’t do this often so if you don’t watch NASCAR, you can get an idea it’s bad. There was fire and a car flipped and I sat there with my mouth dropped to the floor.

So anyway I decided to get online and write about it. What was kinda funny about the whole thing is that my mom asked how much their life insurance was, because they were worried that one of the drivers was hurt. I wonder what their term life insurance quote would be! okay so I’m weird, but I really don’t want to know how much they pay, of course they may not pay much, it may be a perk of the job who knows.

Anyway, now I’m sitting here wondering whats going to happen next, they are talking about how bad the track is right now so who knows how long they will be racing today. At least I have the Oscars to watch if they stop, if they don’t I will be flipping between the two.

There is a chance that todays Sprint Cup race may be rained out, but as I was going through the NASCAR website I saw the ad for the NASCAR foundation. This is a great cause that anyone can help out with. Even if your not a NASCAR fan, but you know one you should check this out.

It’s very simple to participate, you buy a pin for $5 that money then goes to the NASCAR foundation, no it does not go to train drivers or pay for races, the money raised goes to helping different charities that NASCAR families have started, many help with chronic illness, education and wildlife conservation, If your still not sure about it, check out this link: supported charities to find out more about each charity and what they do.

I am buying a pin as soon as I’m done writing this. I did this a few years ago also and it’s really a great idea. Unfortunately I didn’t have anywhere to wear the pin on NASCAR Day, but this year I should have somewhere to wear it and anything else I buy before then. This year NASCAR Day is on Friday May 16th so there is still some time to get shopping and your donations in.

Of course I will be posting about this a few more times, so you won’t forget, it really is a great cause and helps thousands of children, families and environments in our country.

Well my plans for today fell through, but my sister is having a party so I’m going to be heading over there soon. I’m excited this year Brain made it into the race so I can cheer him on. Along with Kasey of course.

I love the excitement of it all. You get ready to watch and wonder who is going to win? Who is going to crash and what problems will happen with these cars. The best part about nascar is the excitement factor. You pick a car and hope it makes it to the end.

If you have never watched a race, check out this one, it’s a huge deal, then pick a car and see how it goes. I know many people think it’s silly watching men race around in a circle, but there is so much more to it then that. I’ll be back later with news on the winners!
