Kansas Speedway - April 2013

I went to the Kansas Speedway for the NASCAR races on April 20-21, 2013. On Saturday, April 20, I spent the morning talking to fans in the infield who traveled to attend race weekend and camp out in the infield. The fans were friendly and excited to be there despite it being cold. Many of the fans I met had driven from Minnesota and the Dakotas and had to drive through ice and snow in the north to get to the Kansas Speedway. I think they were relieved to be in a slightly warmer area.

Once the Nationwide race began on Saturday, I headed to pit row. I absolutely love being there. I assume it's the same thrill other people get when they're on a white sandy beach, or a beautiful, green forest. I love everything about pit row. I love the smells, sounds and excitement. On Sunday, my husband brought the kids to the track and took them around to pre-race events. They really enjoy going to the track and seeing their favorite cars, including Juan Pablo Montoya's Target car and Kyle Busch's M&M's car.
