Pre-race, part I

I feel like I am sleepwalking, I am so tired. Stayed up a little too late. Had to get up at 5:15 a.m. to try to beat some of the traffic. I got in at almost 7:30 this morning.

I feel a bit out of sorts as I am not sure what I should be doing. So I went out to the pit area to check things out and got a few pictures. People are just pouring in. There are tours throughout the pit area and track.

There's going to be a concert as part of the festivities around 12:45, Hinder is playing. I will get some pictures of that for you as well as what pit road will look like from above, prior to the race.

Here are some shots that I took while walking around this morning:

Now I may go out to my car and catch a few zzz's before the race. I do, after all, have to drive home afterward and I hear the traffic is a killer.

About this blog:
I am hopeful that this will be a place where people can air their two cents' worth about a race, catch up on the gossip and share their opinions on the rules and regulations of NASCAR. I have always felt that there has been a need for such a place in Maine and that this blog helps to fill the void.
