Introduction
OK, time for an update. I am a 48 yr old, single, huge Nascar fan. I have a daughter who just turned 27. She's my best friend. I work as a dental assistant at a dental school. I recently lost my
beloved dog that had been with me for 14 yrs. She died in my arms July 3rd. I'm still trying to get to a cup race. I've been to 2 races at Gateway in St. Louis(Busch, Nationwide). My daughter
went with me to this last one and really enjoyed it. I'll make a huge fan of her yet! My fav driver is Bobby Labonte. Always has been since I first started getting into racing about 13 yrs. ago.
I got to meet him at a Nascar Speedpark 2 yrs. ago. I was starstruck! He's so friendly (and cute too). I also am a fan of Kevin Harvick, and of course Dale Jr.
My hobbies well, obviously Nascar. I also love spending time with my family and friends, dancing, reading, and am a very amateur photographer.
Hello my friend the Talladega Track has to be one of my favorite,Bristol being another one. Talladega Superspeedway is located in Talladega, Alabama, United States. It was constructed in the 1960s in place of abandoned airport runways by International Speedway Corporation, a business controlled by NASCAR's founding France family along with Daytona International Speedway and several other racetracks. At 2.66 miles long, Talladega is the largest oval track in the Sprint Cup Series and has seating provisions for over 175,000 patrons. In the 2000 season, Earnhardt had a resurgence,He scored what many considered the 2 most exciting wins of the year - winning by .006 seconds over Bobby Labonte at Atlanta, then gaining seventeen positions in the final four laps to win at Talladega, claiming his only No Bull million dollar bonus. The Craftsman Truck Series race is 250 miles (94 laps) and the ARCA race,was shortened to 300 miles in 1998, and to 250 miles in 2006 when it was moved to Friday. Have a great weekend eddie

In 1996, International Speedway Corporation began exploring the idea of building a track in the Midwest. Bonds were sold in 1998 and construction on the 1.5-mile tri-oval began a year later. Tickets for the 2001 season went on sale on Aug. 17, 2000, and within a week, nearly 80 percent of the season tickets had been sold. Paving on the track begin in September of that year and construction was completed in the spring of 2001. Jeff Gordon won the first two Cup events there, starting with the inaugural race on Sept.30, 2001. ______________________________________________________ Soldiers from the U.S. Army Special Operations Command will thrill race fans with a daring pre-race demonstration prior to the start of the Camping World RV 400 presented by Coleman at Kansas Speedway on September 28, 2008. NASCAR fans will get a first hand and up-close look at a Special Operations infiltration demonstration, including a high-altitude, low-opening (HALO) parachute jump by the U.S. Army Special Operations Command’s Black Daggers. Also, the official Ford Fusion pace car is going on a special “ride” as part of the pre-race demonstration. It will be airlifted and then offloaded onto the track by an MH-47 Chinook helicopter from the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne). Following the pace car “delivery”, eight Special Forces Soldiers will fly into action on two MH-6 Little Bird helicopters for a simulated tactical infiltration.
Here are some fun Race Track Facts
#1 Throughout a NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series weekend at Kansas Speedway, Americrown, who handles all concessions, catering and merchandise for the track, sells more than 31,600 gallons of soda. How far could a NASCAR stock car go on 31,600 gallons of fuel? It could circle the earth 16 times before it had to make a pit stop. That's 129,272 laps around the 1.5-mile Kansas Speedway. ________________________________________________________ #2 Race fans eat 14,504 hot dogs on a typical race weekend at the track. That's enough wieners to cover 437 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup stock cars from nose to tail. ________________________________________________________ #3 About 25,000 hamburgers, which equals about 6,615 pounds, are eaten over the course of the weekend. That much meat adds up to 49 Mark Martins, the lightest driver on the NEXTEL Cup circuit at 135 pounds. _________________________________________________________ #4 Around 26,203 gallons of beer is sold. That's enough to fill a NASCAR NEXTEL Cup stock car gas tank 1,191 times. _________________________________________________________ #5 Nearly 250 yards of bratwurst are sold. _________________________________________________________ #6 About 23,200 orders of French fries are sold.
