Firestone 550 - Texas Motor Speedway

So my dad came in town this weekend for the Firestone 550 Indycar race at Texas Motor Speedway. We got a campsite on the speedway grounds so we didnt have to drive home at night after the race (Smart!) 

 The poor little tree didnt give us much shade but it was enough. 
 Before the indycar race they had Rallycross which was sooo cool to watch. travis Pastrama! Yeah! 

 Lining up to start the race!
 Meanwhile in the bleachers....... Doing the hula hoop for free stuff!

 Here they Come! Indycar!!
 It was pretty hot out but we tried our best to stay cool and refreshed. Refreshments were important!
Like Snow Cones!!! Yumm!!!

 Indycar under the lights! wooo!

 They let us go down into the pits after the race to watch all the teams pack up. Refreshments in hand ;)

 Go Ed Carpenter! 
 If anyone wonders what his heaven will look like. It will be this. Happiest kid around at the races!
 Man I have one good looking dad! oh and pretty good photo skills, especially after all day refreshments!

 Could you imagine this at 300mph? No thanks. 
 Discussing the race probably.
More Discussions while walking back to the tent where we heated up some ribs that we made the day before. They were SOOO good after a long day! fortunately it cooled down just enough to be bearable once the sun went down so it was nice hanging out by the campsite. We played a little catch phrase then hit the sack! Got up early with the sun and headed home!
