NASCAR Racing at Pocono

Everyone here probably already knows that I'm a huge Jimmy Marsden fan, but most of you most likely don't know that I am a huge NASCAR fan as well.  Yes, NASCAR: the sport where cars go round and round in a continuous boring circle, and redneck hicks get drunk and loud and cheer for their driver and give the middle finger to the driver they don't like.  At least, thats how a lot of people on the outside looking in think of the sport.  Except that's not how it really is, at least not anymore.  I'm not a redneck, I don't drink (I don't even like going to a loud thumping club where I can't hear myself think), and I like going to the races with my friends and family.....just for fun.  And, oh, I guess I'll mention who my favorite driver is now:  Jeff Gordon.  Those of you who know virtually nothing about the sport of NASCAR probably still have heard of Mr. Gordon.  But anyway, I'm rambling.  I went to the Pocono race this past weekend and got awesome seats in the infield Executive Tower and pit passes as well.  I was in heaven!  Experiencing a race live is a far, far cry from watching one on TV.  Just to give you an idea of what I enjoyed, see the pics below....
