NASCAR extras
(posted 09 Aug 2007)
In September my release from the Harlequin-NASCAR line will be hitting the book shelves. Last fall I was lucky enough to attend the Dickies 500 at Texas Motorspeedway.
The thing I liked best about being at the track was the size of it. It was huge and the sounds reverberated through that space which had been almost empty on Thursday and filled it completely on Sunday. I liked the way everyone was so friendly in the pits and garages. And how every person I asked even the simplest questions too had time to answer me.
My story involves some cheating…believe it or not I wrote it before all the fining that happened earlier this year at Daytona!! So I talked to a couple of officials. They gave me all kinds of advice and ruled out a couple of scenarios I’d been toying with.
I spent four days going to the track and really enjoyed the indepth behind the scenes look inside NASCAR. I took some photos which I’m posting here when I can figure out how to post them!!!
My family are huge NASCAR fans and always root for Jr. to win. I was able to bring my dad with me to the track and I know he had a great time there. Down in the middle of the action with the drivers he’s always loved and had seen so many times on t.v. or from the stands.
So are there any NASCAR fans here? What’s the thing you like best about it? For me it’s so all about family. My earliest memories are of watching the races with my dad, grandpa and uncles.
