GFS Marketplace 400
On the weekend I was down in Brooklin, Michigan for another Nascar race. This was probably the best race I’ve seen to date ending with Jeff Gordon chasing Matt Kenseth to the finish line.
The race had plenty of passing, the requisite number of crashes, F-15 fly overs, some of the funniest looking fans in the world and great weather.
T-bone steaks and baked beans finished off the day as we waited for 100,000 fans to leave Michigan International Speedway. Good times. I’ll post some photos soon.

Jay,
The 107th is an F-16 unit, not F-15. They deployed more than 200 personnel to Iraq over the past three months, marking the unit’s largest deployment since the Korean War.
Attendance was estimated at 150,000.
And Ford still sucks!

I just figured that the other 50,000 fans were too drunk to drive home and were going to camp out over night.
G, last time I checked, it as still illegal to hack into the Dept of Defense and track the movement of US troops. Watch your back.
Ford sucks? I think Dale Jr’s pit crew sucks! I should get my son to teach them how to change a tire. How long was that last pit stop? 10 minutes?

At least we can all agree that Gordon is the anti-Christ and that anyone can parent if JB can do it!! … click, click, click.

G,
If Gordon is the anti-Christ then Dale Jr is the spokes person for the Gays of Nascar Organization! JB
