Day 6 Daytona 500 Baby!!!!

Wow!  What an experience.  Definetly something to check off the bucket list.  We had a great day, long but great.  The track is amazing, it's so huge, I mean really it's enormous.  And we were sitting way up in the sky, on wooden benches (I still don't that having that many people on them is safe but no one asked my opinion).  But even though we were up with the birds we could see everything, it was great.  I actually think it helped since there is so much in the infield if we were lower we would have not been able to see the backstretch. 

There were a ton of accidents & cautions.  All of our favorites finished nowhere near the front of the pack, Trevor Bayne won, some 20 year old kid I'd never even heard of.

It was carzy foggy ont he way in.  And the traffic was insane.  It took about 4 hours to go from Davenport to the track.

It just goes and goes forever.  We didn't even have a chance to really walk around and check everything out.
