ALL STAR RACE~~

In May we were given FREE tickets to the ALL STAR RACE at the Lowe's Motor Speedway! Man...that is a cool race to see and very fun! We went with our friends Shannon and Cody and we left Knoxville at 3am.....yes 3am!! Suprisingly the drive was not bad, but once we got to the track we had so much fun and getting up early was well worth it :) Here are some snapshots from our seats of the track!

Ok...this picture needs some explaining......we took with us a little grill so we could just grill out hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch and dinner! Great idea...right......well it is as long as you bring the correct type of charcoal, apparently we bought the wrong kind of charcoal and you need lighter fluid to get it going....so they guys took a trip to the store and bought lighter fluid...well that did not help either......so after an hour and half, help of our neighboring friends (who later became annoying as can be) and other tailgaters charcoal we got the fire started.......FUN FUN!!

We also attended a FREE Three Doors Down Concert in the infield.....which meant we got to walk on the track...that was neat :)
