Lowes motor speedway day #2

day 2 at charlotte was a lot different than day 1. much more excitement and people!! none the less still a great time. i have to say one thing that i saw not only on day 1 but also on day 2. there was a special needs youth there that was so excited and happy just to be there, it was all his dad could do to contain him. i think his favorite car was the napa # 55 michael waltrip. it was very touching when the crew came out of the garage with a signed napa hat. the look on that kids face was priceless!!! that is a memory that  will always stay with me. once again all the people that worked so hard to make this event special, margee and i could not thank you enough!!!!!!! i hope we will meet with all them again at another event. i’m on my way to the big rig expo in tulsa ok hope to see you there!!!!!!

    I can’t believe the flock of motor homes in your picture! That is crazy!

    I’m glad you had such a good time. My mom has never been to a race and she watches them on tv religiously- I am hoping to get her out there soon!
