It's way too early in the morning. I am certainly not awake yet. When I walked in to the media center here at New Hampshire International Speedway, I hadn't even had my first cup of coffee because everything was closed when I left the hotel. I love racing but this early stuff is for the birds. And if you want to beat the traffic, you've got to be an early bird. I am a bit cranky to say the least.

I had honestly thought about leaving yesterday afternoon and going back to the hotel room. Because of the weather, all the Cup drivers had packed up for the day.

Then I decided to make my way up on the hill by the big flag poles on the backstretch to enjoy some time with friends as a fan instead of working. I did snap a few pictures up there though. (I don't typically go anywhere without a camera while I'm here.)

Snoozing during the truck race ... yup this pretty much sums up my thoughts on that race.

Here's a few other pictures from up there ...

There are just rows and rows of RVs and motor homes.

These gals don't really care about the racing.

As for beverage pong this weekend ... didn't do it. I just didn't make it up to Frontier Land to give it a try. Maybe next time.

Now the long wait begins for the Cup race.
