Sorry folks. We had some major issues with the website all day yesterday. I couldn’t do anything with the blog but it really didn’t matter because the entire website was down anyway.

I spent a lot of time taking pictures throughout the day yesterday to share. We managed to get practice sessions in for all Cup, Nationwide and Camping World East.

Here are some views from the day. By the way, it felt like it was 100 degrees yesterday. It was muggy, humid weather. I'm not complaining though because today doesn't look all that good. It's overcast and looks like it could start raining any minute.

Here's what I captured yesterday:

When I got in this morning someone made an announcement that Clint Bowyer would be standing in front of his hauler to take questions, so of course I had to run out.

Juan Pablo Montoya’s car gets some fine tuning.

For whatever reason, I really got a kick out of the UPS driver trying to deliver packages. He was up and down pit road during a practice session, trying to to deliver and not get hit by cars.

Mike Helton was checking things out. Notice he signed that woman’s shirt. “Mike H” is on her shoulder. A lot of people do this actually. They wear white shirts and carry sharpies with them and have the drivers sign their shirts.

See? That same woman was trying to get Jason Leffler to sign her shirt in this photo.

It seems they let anyone in the garage area. This woman was a bit out of hand. Seriously, how in the world did she get a HOT pass?

Alright, I'll be back with more images in a while. I promise. Well, that is if the system is still up when I return. The Cup guys just came in off the track from their practice session. They are usually out and about in the garage area right now. I'm going for a walk to see.
