Penni and I went to Ohio last weekend (Aug 14-19) to visit Sarah & Andi.  On Friday-Sunday, we were actually a couple of hours north in Michigan for some NASCAR.  On Friday, we saw Cup practice & qualifying plus Nationwide practice.  On Saturday, we saw Nationwide qualifying plus the Nationwide race.  Then, on Sunday, we saw the Cup race.

I don’t think attending a NASCAR race will ever be the same if I don’t have a weekend pit pass.  A pit pass allows you to get so much more closer to the cars, drivers, and on-track action.  I took over 600 photos in Michigan and got half a dozen autographs that I really wouldn’t have gotten without the pit pass.  Here is a picture of me prior to Nationwide qualifying on Saturday in front of the JR Motorsports #88 Navy Chevy.

I’m going to post another blog entry explaining some of my photos.  (There’s a story to every photo, you know?)  If you want to go ahead and see the best photos I took in Michigan, click here.  (Clicking on the thumbnail will take you to a larger version of the photograph.)
