On April 8, we traveled to Fort Worth to be a part of an amazing experience...NASCARUs Lucky Lees to be are rednecks, no doubt about it...Mr. Lee is more redneck than me, and proud of it.We hunt, we fish, we camp, let's just say we do ALOT of redneck things.Just by looking at us, you wouldn't be able to tell that we're that redneck.But once you get to know Mr. Lee and I, you notice a recurring trend.We're not the worst rednecks out there, for sure, but our life, tends to lean towards redneck, or country, if you're being polite lol.
So why not visit the most recognized redneck sport out there, NASCAR racing!
Hubs-to-be has been a NASCAR fan for 75% of his life...we think he was born a fan, lolBut he has never experienced a race, besides on TV.I luckily got the chance to go back in high school, only 2 months after Mr. Lee & I started dating.He was perturbed to say the least, and he never let me live it down,until 2 weekends ago.
In February, I purchased NASCAR tickets for him as belated 25th birthday surprise. When he arrived home from West Virginia, I gave him the tickets. It was probably the best surprise he will ever have in his lifetime.
The entire weekend, Mr. Lee thanked me 75 times a day. Literally.
Just look at these pictures, and you'll notice a glow on Mr. Lee's face...a NASCAR glow
driving by the track the day before...Brian, after he said thank you and 'I love you' for the millionth time
pictures from when we first got there...and how close to the track we were...amazing
the track, Brian at the finish line and us :)
Dale Earnhardt Jr's car...Brian tuning the scanner so we can listen to Jr...the camaro line-up before the race
the flyover. God. Bless. America....Jr coming out of pit road...the first laps before the race
Mr. Lee in AWE of the experience... race started, and a quick pic to make sure we captured the moment
the start of the race, Jimmie Johnson driving by after only 28 seconds around the track, the track as we left, and the rubber pieces that came off of my arms. We were so close to the track, that we were covered in little snippets of rubber....IT.WAS.AWESOME!
We stopped at Cabela's...aka hunter's heaven, on our way home and Casey Mears' car was there for showing. We got pictures of course, and the Texas Motor Speedway sign on the way home.
Thanks NASCAR, and Thanks Texas Motor Speedway, what an awesome opportunity!See you next April!
Matt and I LOVE going to the dirt track races and drag races. We usually get free tix to baytown. Last year I surprised him with fix to the Orielly Spring Nats drag racing series. Def my favorite sporting event to attend thus far! Matt was sooo happy, I think he bragged a bunch after that. I was also told by his buddies, 'you're the awesomist girlfriend a guy could have!' Hee hee... that was a good feeling:-) Hooray for awesome girlfriends/fiances/wives!!
