AllState 400 at the Brickyard 2008

I went to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, July 27th for the 15th running of the Brickyard 400 :)

I went with one of my best friends from Ball State and former roommate, Lauren. We've decided we had so much fun that we want to make it a tradition; hopefully next year we can get some friends to come out and we can tailgate all day. We had some good seats, considering we bought them off people who couldn't attend from www.Craigslist.org; check out the website if you ever need anything. Then, Mom got lucky and won garage/pit passes from Sprint- so we had to be at the track at 8am! We got off to a late start (ha, 5:30am) then got stuck in traffic *yea, traffic at 7am.* and had to run to the infield where they informed us they weren't starting until 8:30. eeks, we made it. From there, we went to the free concerts who had Craig Morgan and the Charlie Daniels Band. Loved it! Then we headed up to our seats about 1:30 for the Start of the race at 2pm. It was a fun race, being that we could see the end of turn 2, all of backstretch, turn 3 and a distant turn 4. TV does not give justice to the noise and crazieness! Overall, great day :)
