Pep Boys 500, Atlanta Motor Speedway, 9-6-09

I had never been to a Race before, so a friend and I decided to go check it out. I love anything with a motor, but never thought that a race could be this fun! Video does not do it justice - the noise and vibrations hit you right to your core! Plus, 180+mph is FAST! The only thing that was a bit boring was that there were no big wrecks. :( We hammed it up the whole time and added on a southern accent. People watching has to be one of the best parts of the race, for you literally see it all. The fans are really laid back and just there to have a good time - I didn't see any sore sports after the race. Go check it out!

Awesome vids. There's nothing cooler than watching cars drive off into the third turn at AMS and then come around to you for the first time at speed. That was my favorite part. Love this track, it's home for me so maybe I'm biased, but I think it's the best track on the circuit.

haha that one girl had the same scanner as me

[jbrunsonjr]

It is probably a different one, but looks similar. This one had all the teams preprogrammed in it. Pretty cool none the less - the person sitting next to us let us borrow it....

There is nothing like being at a race in person. No one can appreciate Nascar fully until they witness it in this way.. I can still feel all 43 cars shifting at the same time! Gives me chills even now just thinking about! Awesome
