I didn't have time to read, but once I started, I HAD to! So get back to writing that book!
Thanks for that, Annie! As I said......better than sittin' home wondering what's going on out there! And it wasn't the sport of racing that drew me, it's the people, the good times, and the party atmosphere!

My kids used to tease me about REM. They'd say.....Mom, that doesn't stand for Robert E. Mulvee, ya' know! (Catholic Bishop from Diocese of Wilmington)

I'm sorry I will miss NASCAR this year. I don't know if I'm a fan or not because I've never been. Rest assured I will be there next year.

The crowds, hustle bustle, lines and confusion make for a ridiculously fun time! Just the way we like it! If you like being around all kinds of people, from everywhere, you will love it! And, you don't have to be a "drinker" to enjoy the bars. A wine spritzer, or diet coke suits me just fine, and the bands, dancing and fun are outlandish! Part of the fun is recognizing a crew chief, driver, or other celebrity, and seeing them on the dance floor! I have seen some drivers with 2 left feet!

Any info on where some of the drivers might be making appearances in the area?

Try Boondocks and Sambos. Go for the crabs, and you might get lucky.

My boys and I are super excited about the race at Dover Downs this weekend! I for one was happy with the support for Autism Speaks; NASCAR and the drivers do a great job supporting some fine causes throughout the year.

We are doubly excited because... drum roll, please... we just found out we get free tickets to the race! While we did move here from the heart of NASCAR country (Richard Petty's hometown, in fact), we never made it to the big races during our 15+ years in NC. And lo and behold, our first June in DE, and we will be THERE!

We may be the only ones with Petty gear on, but what can I say?

Mary

I went to wal mart today and noticed a lot of toothless tattooed people with wild hair.
Think it is because of NASCAR weekend?

I know people love it and those Going hope you all enjoy.

As for Us, we aren't going near Dover the whole weekend. We will stay put with the pool and a refrig full of food.

Hope the weather is wonderful this weekend and you all no matter what you do enjoy to the fullest

Last year I went to the Nascar event with my daughter and her friends.
There were 8 of us and we had a blast. It was the first time I ever tailgated and it was the best time ever. But at $100. per ticket it's not something we'll be doing every year. PS. last time I checked, we all had our teeth and none of us had any tattoos. I did buy a tank top that said "gentlemen start your engines" across the front. I don't have the guts to wear it though. Gave it to my daughter.

As for me, I don't think I'd even give it a chance. It's not for me but looks like there are 5,000 people that love it.
