Today, in Las Vegas, it was cold and windy, with rain and snow in the morning. Hardly a way to start NASCAR week here in Vegas.
We went to get our tickets today. The Las Vegas Motor Speedway donated thousands of tickets to CCSD employees and students. So, the race is not a sell out, but the stands should have a lot of fans in them. Our seats are in the Dale Earnhardt section, which basically in the 4 turn, heading into the front straightaway.
Many merchandise haulers arrived today. The picture on the right is the A.J. Almadinger, Paul Menard and Elliot Sadler's merchandise hauler. Not too many race haulers were seen, though. Brendan Gaughn's hauler on the left picture is located in the warehouses/garages on Speedway Ave. There are several garages specializing in race cars located there. There is also a Shelby's restaurant located in the area. Before this week, all they served was lunch, but they may stay open later this week.
The A.F. Thunderbirds were out practicing in the afternoon. They will do the flyover on Sunday.
Hopefully, we will be able to see more haulers tomorrow.
Another sight is the RV's and campers that have already arrived. About 75 campers and RV's have arrived already. By Friday, there will be over a thousand campers and RV's in the parking lots.
Tuesday should be the day that most if not all haulers will arrive, if they haven't gotten here already.
Report more tomorrow.
