My first NASCAR race

So I made it to New Hampshire for the Lenox Industrial Tools 300 and had a great time. Before the race, we saw Kurt Busch signing autographs at a merchandising trailer and Michael Waltrip zipped by on a golf cart (he wasn't racing.) Seats were excellent, row 39 on turn 4, and all the action in the race happened right below us. Lots of green-flag racing and a dramatic finish with Jeff Gordon and Martin Truex Jr. fighting it out to see who would challenge Denny Hamlin working on two old tires. Hamlin held on to win despite some serious loose-ness on the final sprint.

The race was a good one for a first-timer. Glad you had a good time.

I'll be there for the fall race.
