Qualifying - MIS June
It was a quick hook up to the camper and away we went to MIS. First stop, Harold’s Place on US-12 for a heavy breakfast with my cousin’s and one of his friend’s. Okay, so two of his friends, one of which married my cousin. Monroe is funny that way… LOL!! After a quick bite to eat it was off to our friend’s house to drop off our camper and away we went to the track.
Upon arriving at the track, we needed to get our credentials so that we could enter the garage area and pits this year. Amy and I thought it would be a good idea to get a NASCAR onesie for people to sign, so off the merchandise trailers we went. On our way there we saw Kyle Petty flying by on a golf cart. After the purchase of the onesie, we headed for the garage area. There was a large group of people along a fence because Denny Hamlin was signing autographs. So Amy quickly sprung into action (yes, she still has a little bounce left) and got his autograph. After getting into the garage area, we caught the tail end of a press conference with Jeff Gordon at his trailer and received his signature as well. Jeff smiled a bit when he realized was he was autographing. His wife is due anytime now. Amy quickly pushed her friend Hidie up closer to Jeff because her feet suddenly became made of concrete with glue on them… Hidie is a HUGE Gordon fan and just adores him. She has met him before, but for some reason still gets cold feet ;)!
After wandering around in the garage area we spent a large amount of time on pit road meeting drivers, etc. I won’t bore you with all of them, but let me just say that we had an awesome time!! However, I will say that Jack Rousch didn’t want to let go of Amy for a while... We stayed on pit road until Nextel Cup qualifying was over and then watched a little of the ARCA race. It was pretty hot and was a long day as we also needed to wear jeans, no open toed shoes and shirts with at least short sleeves, so we decided to call it a day.
Stay tuned for pictures of the day! I need to cut them down so they don’t get too boring.
