I just just wondering if anyone else is counting down the days until the Dayton 500. I can't wait. Today I received my bf's valentines present which is an autographed Kasey Kahne card. (Got it from ebay the people i got it from as every driver's autograph you could think of....if you wanna check it out here's the link.... http://stores.ebay.com/Mw-Sports-Connection
Plus the Bud Shoot-out is this weekend! I also just found out yesterday that I'm getting to go to Bristol in April, it's not the night race but it's still Bristol!! Sorry about the rambling I'm just really excited for the season to start!!

Yep, I am also counting down the days. I am having foot surgery on the 18th so I know for a fact that I won't be missing any part of the race as I will be on the couch with the remote!

Go #8

Oh gosh have I been counting down the days! We get our first Nascar fix of the season this weekend with the Bud shoot out, then the twin 125's Thursday then .....DAYTONA BABY!!! Boogity Boogity Boogity! We always have a party for it with our fellow redneck (no offense) friends...does anyone have any suggestions for games or that sort of a thing. I do do a game in which I write down all 43 driver names on a small piece of paper, but the names in a bowl and have each guest draw names until all the names are gone. Then we give prizes to the guest that has the name of the driver that lead the first lap...the driver that is out of the race first...leads at the half way point..you get the idea. Any other suggestions? I don't want to do anything that would take away our attention from the race of course, but maybe something to do while waiting through a caution.

I don't know exactly how to go about doing it but you could do some sort of poll like they do for football.
Pay for squares etc....based on wrecks in which lap, how many caution laps, how many cars in a wreck, etc....how many laps led....the list could go on and on!

I can't wait and the more I talk about it the more excited I get.

My house gets the racing bug pretty bad cuz i have a close friend that races locally and owns his car. So, if he's winning - we are nuts, if he crashes- we freak out! LOL We even follow the rebuild of the car in the off season

Of course, NASCAR is awsome too! the race is also on!

We're ready and have been ready since November!! My husband says its the only thing he has to look forward too (I really hope not

) We have a ball going to races and watching them on TV.

He used to go to the daytona 500 every yr, was there when Dale Earnhardt crashed, hasn't been since. His fave racer is Rusty Wallace lol #2. His boss also owns a super modified racing car that my dad has driven in a few times.

Counting down here...took the day off and have the menu planned. We wanted to go this year but hubby convinced me to watch it on the big screen and have MY OWN bathroom just feet away would be much better( i like beer!!) Does anyone have the trackpass?? We got it last year for a free trial...i am just wondering is it worth it? I think its only $99!
