So saturday Rob, his grandfather, me and our friend John decided to go to the Pocono’s for the Busch Race, but the night before we all decided that we were going to camp there until after the Sunday race. So Saturday morning we ALL got off to a horrible start. We woke up at 6:30 in the morning instead of 5 like we all planned. His pap got up at 7. We wanted to leave by 7 and get there at 8. So after we all got woken up we started to pack the car. *i still dont know how we shoved ALL that stuff in there but we did* Took up 2 hours to pack the car with everything. SO by now it’s 9 in the morning and we are ready to go. *btw Banana was staying at my parents for the weekend, so I was still adjusting to her not being around me* Before we were actually “on the road” we had to make couple stops. We had to go to the beer store and stock up, and go to Wal-mart and grab couple things, then get Gas and food. By 10:30 we were FINALLY on our way to the Pocono’s!
We arrived at Long Pond about 11 ish. We still needed to get Infield tickets *since we had grandstand only and wanted to stay both days* Once you get into long pond there are ticket stands ALL over the main road to the raceway. So we all got out of the car and scattered trying to find 5, 2 day infield tickets and 2 pit passes. We ended up only getting one infield ticket but we did get our pit passes! So we drove up bout 3 miles to the raceway and had to go all over the damn place to find 4 more tickets. It was like finding a needle in a haystack. it was corwded and nobody knew where they were sending us. But we got there…we got to the ticket booth and got our tickets. We were finally on our way! We drove to Gate one and there it was… 
The entry to the infield!! By now i had chills down my spine just knowing what was awaiting us this weekend! We got in and had to set up camp on the opposite side of the track until 3am when gates were open to the other side. So we decided to go and get our pit passes validated and check it all out.
The first thing i seen at Pocono had to be the best thing i have seen…

Tony Stewart getting his car weighed in for Sunday’s race. I was so excited to see his car up close like that! It was friggin awesome shit. But we made our way around the paddock and seen some cool stuff but nothing was really going on. Rob and I made our way back to John and his Pap and watched some of the busch race.
We really didnt get to see much of it since we got there really late. Once it ended we went back to camp and got something to eat. Rob and John made friends with people across from us who were playing horse shoes. So the boys went over there and played and I layed in the sun for a good hour. We walked round most of the day waiting for Johns girl Megan to get there. We met up with one couple who were in the infield part we were supposed to be in. They actually gave us there tickets so we can bring our car over by them. They had special tickets to be over there. So we talked to them for a bit and started getting stuff outta the car. We all ate dinner and the sun was setting. Megan showed up so we all went for a walk to see what kinda parties were going on. Once again the boys made friends with people playing horse shoes and they all played. Megan and I walked around little bit and lemme tell you some of these guys down there are PIGS! Cat callin, and “come here a second girls.” Haha yea it s pretty bad. But Megan and I brought a shitload of beer back to everyone so we can all get our party on. But didnt end up that way exactly. John and Megan fought…so it was just me, Rob and his Pap. We did find these awesome bunch of guys in a Nascar Bus. They were all Canadians and they friggin rocked! The one guys made 600 jello shots just for the race. Damn between rob and I we had to of had….40? haha yea. But they played good country music and everyone was really nice.


We went back to camp after an hour of partying with these guys and found John and Megan. Pap went to bed and they came with us back to the Canadians. By now we were all pretty drunk but havin a good time. It was probabaly 1 something by now…and there were people pouring in all over the place. But we needed to get back to camp cuz the gates were opening soon and we had our spot picked out right against the fence between turn 1 and 2. So we hauled ass and got there. now i dont remember much…cept for Rob and I fighting for a good 2 hours and security kept telling them they couldnt go over to the fence till 3am. But i remember Rob passing out in my arms in the middle of the infield as the gates were opening. Cars are flying all over the damn place, im trying to pick Rob up, John is moving the car, megans sleeping in the tent already. FInally John came over and carried rob across the infield into the car. *rob was really reallly drunk* it was 3:30 by now and John and me are the only ones up. We got stuff outta the car and then he told me to go in the tent with Megan and get some sleep.
I get in the tent and my pants are soaked up to my knees the blankets are wet and im freezing! I shivered myself to sleep basically. John woke me up at 7 in the morning so i got no sleep at all. But he set up camp and made friends with a guy in an RV next to us. I was so tired and I fell asleep with my contacts in which was horrible cuz i couldnt see shit. I had to take my contacts out all day and wear my sunglasses. Rob and his Pap woke up around 8 and megan got up at 9. I dunno if John sleot at all but he was in the tent with Megan and me when I woke up. So I dunno. But we got coffee on and I was finally ok to go. Rob and I wanted to go to the pits before 10 so we can get some autographs. So we headed out.

Pit Road

Logano’s Pit Box

Smoke’s Pit Box
Pit Road was awesome. Rob got his hat signed by every single pit crew member on pit road. It was great. Some of the guys were so awesome…they sat and talked with us and had no problem signing stuff. Others were not so pleasent but whatever.
We made our way back to camp..it was bout 12 now and there was 2 hours till Race time. Rob wasnt feeling to good…and we all didnt think much of it. I mean it was hot and we didnt eat. We got him some food and a drink ad he seemed ok. Bout an hour later he started throwing up, he was freezing and he didnt look good at all. The people we met the night before were there and the lady was a nurse. She took his pule and it was only 48. He had sun posioning. John took him to the emergency place in the infield and they gave him 3 bags of IV to hydrate him. He was gone a good 2 hours he missed half the race. But when he got back all was well, he looked great and he said he felt 100% better. So it was on with the race.

This is one of the good pictures we have
We ended up all going on top of this dude’s RV and being able to see everything! There was only bout 25 mins left in the race and Smoke was in the lead. Then it started raining! But onl on our side of the track just like last year haha. But it stopped and the sun came back out. It was lap 189 of 200 so we were all getting excited. We were all having a great time just hanging out and relaxing.

Rob cant keep straight face ever!
