A day of racing was just what this family needed. I don't claim to understand how it all works. These two are my resident race fans. Aaron has been a fan of #48-Jimmy Johnson for a few years now. Dallas has gone from Davey Allison to Ernie Irvin to Dale Jarrett and has not settled on since Dale retired. I like anyone but Jeff Gordon.
Now that Aaron is old enough to follow the sport a bit more, he has figured out that when the race was in Richmond - that means "our Richmond" - close enough to go! Kids just dont get that tickets for these races are not only hard to come by, but are extremely expensive. RIR has a new family section, which was just what we needed. We packed our camping grill and plenty to food and drinks for the day and off we went. 
Aaron was star struck - his mouth hung open from the moment we pulled into the lot. "WOW! THIS IS COOL! - DON'T YOU THINK THIS IS COOL, MOM?" I heard this over and over. Priceless! I got my money's worth within the first ten minutes.
We took in all that we could and won some pretty cool stuff along the way. Aaron's driver did not win, but he was just glad to be there and watch the whole 400 laps. From the National Anthem and the fly over to the burnout - he LOVED IT!
