Calm before the storm
Before the start of the race. Cars line up on the racetrack rather than in the pits.
Jimmie in a hurry
Right before the start of the race, Jimmie Johnson had to walk back to his pits and almost ran over me!! He was very focused so I didn't pester him.
Kevin and Delana Harvick
Back when she wore the firesuit in the family. Ironically the same one Joey wore when he accused her of it! ;-)
Crew Stretches
This is Ryan Newman's crew getting race-ready with some stretching before the race start.
1 lap to go!

Watching the race
Because everyone was standing on the start and restarts, it was hard to actually see the start from my seat. Lesson learned!!

More Pitstops
I was sitting at the top of the stands right past the start finish line, looking up Pit Road. Great shots of the boxes and the pitstops.
Uh oh, 4 wide doesn't work
