For my birthday my brother took me to the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. The race was actually on my birthday. As was the case with the race I went to at KY last year, lots of rain causing the beginning to be delayed and multiple red flags due to rain as well. It was a very exciting race and they DID get to finish after 511 laps.
We got to the track at 7am for some shopping and tailgating (which never happened due to rain). I got to explore the haulers and Chevy fan zone.my brother bought me a Dale Call, I bought a Chase Elliot 2014 Nationwide champ car, 2014 NCSC Harvick champ car (unfortunately they gave me the Budweiser when I asked for Jimmy Johns, hoping i can exchange that at Charlotte in a few weeks), I also picked up the program and event car, they were handing out some kind of Jeff Gordon Bristol memories thing as well. At the flea market venders I picked up a 1/7500 Dale Jr. mini helmet for myself. We had walked around a lot and collected as many free items as we could before the vendors all shut down around 1. I was able to get 2 chevy shirts, 7 auto trader Logano coozies, a event car from the 2nd Charlotte rasce last year (for my son to play with), a shirt from a car auction vendor, and 3 pins from past Bristol events. For my son I also picked up a Larson rookie car, a 2015 Chasde Elliot camaro, and some Harvick tshirts.
Matt Kenseth won the pole and after a LOOOONG day was able to win the race as well. (BOO Toyota).
