Degree V12 300 @ Atlanta Motorspeedway

So Saturday afternoon, Dale Jr got the pole for the Nationwide race at Atlanta. I found tickets to the race for not too bad of a price, and told Jerry. I actually found tickets to both races, but three to Saturday's race, was the same price as on to Sunday's race. So Jerry said to get the tickets for my birthday present and the girls and I could get on the road to Atlanta.

we got there in the middle of driver introductions, and I was running for our seats.

Which meant we got to see most of the important (read Sprint cup) drivers.

And then he started running out of gas, so Happy Harvick won.
