Great weekend in Atlanta

Hell yeah! That MGD crew shirt from the early 90's is legendary

Cota was fun. Started off cool which was perfect but then the sun came out and it got hot. The way the sun sets it’s in your face in the paddock club.

Hey all, random question...

Looks like a strong probability im going to miss the cup race at Pocono this year, but no worries ill go to the Truck-Xfinity double header on Saturday. Are all the merch trucks typically open during the Trucks and Xfinity races?

I am a terrible photog.....a pan of the place. Love it....love it more when WE win. A fabulous weekend.

Public Service Announcement......When the forecast for Sonoma is 70 degrees....it is the coldest 70 degrees on the planet. It was very chilly.

A friend sent me some pics from his daughter in Chicago. Here are some I think I can share.

Great photos. So much haze possibly from the fires in Canada?

Could be.

Probably. It was also visible on the Phillies broadcast when they played the cubs earlier in the week.

It just so happens, they stopped by the game on the way to the race.

Was on the Turn 1&2 side this time in Vegas, good overall view up high. Fun day got a lot of sun in.

Jumping on an airplane in a few hours heading to the Championship. Love me, hate me, block me.....nobody could be more excited. I live for this weekend. Go Bell!

 

[Revman]

Inject this into my veins. I have said this before....I would wish EVERY NASCAR fan could enjoy this at the level I do. This is 100% my happy place.

Michael Johnson. Engine Tuner. Badass. I love the way tuners move about....It's like...."You can set this thing up any way you want, but if it doesn't go, you are screwed." So cool.

 

[Revman]

My man Adam....Hands on....

 

[Revman]

Phoenix is done right. Access. I love the place. I get to see the business end of my sport. What I love the most is that the Hot Pass crowd only gets to see the ass end of these things. An infield pass gets you into engine bays. Damn it....I love this sport.

 

[Revman]

Thought this was a cool shot. Adam is so awesome.

WARNING: THIS IS NOT A TROLLL POST.....Wanted to share some positive stuff about Hendrick.....

1. Cliff Daniels is a class act. Constantly in the garage, and great with the fans. Multiple team meetings....he is in charge. I was impressed.
2. Chad Knaus is an awesome person. Always smiling at fans, and attending to the details...shining this, rubbing that. I have seen him on three different occasions, in three different places. Each time, he had a kind word and a smile for me. Nobody can fake it that well.

 

[Revman]

Hendrick louvers. Submitted without comment.

I agree about Chad. I met him once at AMS. He was in the middle of setting up the 48 but was still smiling and kind for us fans.

The stands are empty!

The stands are empty!

Xfinity pre-race....post-race for Cup which had a nice crowd....45 degrees ambient.

Deathbedders don't see a racetrack lol. Cool pic.

I was in the stands when Donnie drove Davey’s car that day

Rick Hendrick's yacht was in town. I arrived around 2 and walked around the garages before the drivers meeting. When the meeting was about to star I met Michael Rooker and saw the rock. Most of the drivers had their game face on and didn't really chat. I was surprised by how great the crowd was. It didn't hurt that if you had a xfinity ticket you could also attend the 500.

 

[StandOnIt]

Great shots. It's amazing the access you got.

Day 1 at COTA - Zero road traffic. Parked in lot T, walked to turn 1 entry. Then walked around the track clockwise, getting a tram ride from halfway down the back straight around to turn 3. The turn9 grandstand has been disassembled and the esses viewing area is no longer accessible (sad).

All the equipment is branded for TMS. It's very obvious that SMI is leasing the property. Talking to facility staff, concessions and security are local folks but anybody related to operations and logistics are from Fort Worth or Denton.
And they DO NOT cross communicate very well at all.

The little carnival is neat. No idea what it cost; the ferris wheel is 1 ticket, roller coaster is 2. Vendor midway was dominated by Toyota.

Overall today was right at 10,000 steps. Had dinner at a hole in the wall Peruvian place by the hotel here in Round Rock. About 40 minutes both ways today, and it's the closest non-price-gouging hotel. $102/night with IHG rewards membership.
