Where do I begin? Son got an Aric Almirola autograph. Peple were fun...even bus driver....oh...and young man in front of us in line donated his wristband. Wait. Upon entry guy in parking lot teased me about my steering wheel grip...told my son to keep an eye on me. Merchandise shop had no Aric Almirola hats so we were told the truck selling his stuff was out there. I had no idea there was a truck for each racer. We stand in line to buy StewartHaas Almirola stuff and we are told AA himself is signing autographs!. Guy ahead of us senses we are clueless and gives us his spare wristband (as wristband is given 8am to 10 or first 50 purchases?..and autographs soon after that). We get to the front, he signs autograph and says "have fun today, enjoy the race buddy" to my son who is almost 9 years old and starstruck.
We ended up buying Almirola diecast car...hat and tee shirt for my son... Then...people were so nice. Free parking. Free shuttle bus. Food is about 9 to 14 per person with drinks. Audience viewers are all friendly and or slightly giddy. Rainstorm was a monsoon ...felt like titanic sinking. Race resumed. Got NBC coverage with 48 dollar headphones...lady gave us a discount
..free 2nd headphone for son. Dale Earnhardt Jr and racer radios could be heard...along with NBC woman whispering instructions to cameramen. We loved it. June 21 2020...mark your calendars people. The aluminum seats are hot so bring a pillow and blanket
Bring frozen water bottles (like 4 per person) to survive. Bring earplugs or buy tje headphones (rental was about $50 but worth every penny...believe me!) Perfect experience despite monsoon like rain delay. People kept smiling and were so nice. People who claim it is all this or that type of people can kiss it. There were ALL types of people and they were ALL really really kind to each other. Best sporting event experience of my 51 years....and my son LOVED it. The exit was a mess since it rained and 2 or 3 cars were muddy...but oh well. Perfect
June 21 2020 we Cannot wait
