I was in the infield for the 8/1-8/3 (2008) PA 500 weekend and we got pit passes for the weekend too. This was during practice and in qualifying drivers came by to sign autographs (I got at least 15-including Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, and Bill Elliott).
This is a short clip of practice with Elliott and Kasey Kahne pulling off the race track into the garage.
ooohhh i got a car signed by him
its just so thoughtful of them just to stop :)

nice haha. and yeah HendrickFan, i was surprised how many autographs i got. I bought one of those checkered flags and got a bunch of them (including jeff gordon, whos my favorite) to sign, it was awesome cuz it was my first time in the garage/pit area. good to know they changed the setup for it too :)

oh its not holes anymore, the first year i went it was but now they are metal bars like this l l l l l with a shelf running along the whole thing, its nicer then before, ik this person took the box i was at the first year and the minute he did an official came over and gave him a lugnut, grrrr i was mad

always go there during qualifying like he said thats the busiest time almost all the drivers stop there but u gotta get there early before the ppl with a box of cars hog the little opening from everyone else (assholes :D) im lucky i got an autograph from jeff gordon it was almost impossible
HendrickFan2488548 2 years ago
