2011 Coca Cola 600

The kids flew in for the weekend with tickets to the Coca Cola 600. We tailgated and had a great time. Thanks Brahm and Dagmar!  At the beginning there was a Fly By of a B-1 bomber. The first one that I have actually seen.  I have no favorite driver, but the fans clearly favored Earnhardt Jr.  He was in the lead the last 10 or so laps, and on turn 4 of the last lap, with a 5 car lead, he ran out of fuel. Made for a great finish. He finished  about 8th. I guess I was secretly hopping for Kyle Bush. He got a speeding ticket a week or so ago in the Charlotte area for 128mph in a 45. It would have helped with his fine.
