What a Weekend…in Ohio & Michigan

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.)

Heck yes there are stories to all your photos and I know most of them. LOL

Woohoo! I had a blast and I am glad you decided to come with me and that we were able to attend it with Andi and Sarah. I had a blast. You all great.

We all had such a great time.! It was really great to finally meet you and Penni in person.

[...] I mentioned in my last post, we had weekend pit passes.  These allowed us to be on pit road during qualifying & practice [...]
