NASCAR Nation

Today was Monday after one of the big NASCAR races. I drive to work down 35W so go right by the track. I could avoid it but I love to see the spectacle of NASCAR nation leaving sacred ground. Monday morning all the thousands are peeling out of the track and heading home. The freeway is bumper to bumper RVs with all the faithful. In a sense I'm people watching as I'm driving. You get to see all kinds. And they all have crazy flags, stickers, trailers, custom BBQ pits, and the best of all suped up golf carts. These people know how to have a good time and they come prepared!

This evening I drove home in the dark, it was only 6pm :-(
