In May I took my family to Charlotte for my anniversary. It was a great trip! I got to attend the Coca-Cola 600, visit garages and spend lots of time with my wife and son, lots of family friendly places in NC. The race was great and my first without a rain delay, won by Carl Edwards (BOO Toyota) but he did his signature back flip and celebrated in the crowd due to no fuel left for doughnuts. I was able to find a vendor in the flea market nice enough to trade my Harvick Budweiser for a Jimmy John's championship diecast too. There weren't many free giveaways in the fan zone, but we were able to pick up a few.

I was able to visit Hendricks Motorsports twice, JR Motorsports, and Stewart Haas garage and the NASCAR HOF while out there too. I didn't get any autograph wristbands but I do not feel like I missed anything. Picked up a few souveniors not pictured a Harvick Jimmy John's shirt and circle decal, also 2 lug nuts from Stewart Haas (no driver specified), A new Dale Jr Diet Dew Shirt, A !/64 Baja Blast AllStar race diecast, and Dale Jr. lug nuts.
