Back in November Benson and I became true American's and went to the NASCAR race in Phoenix.  We knew before going that people get serious about NASCAR but after going...all we can say is WOW. 

As you arrive at the racetrack you drive over a hill and in the valley below, spread out for literally miles, there are thousands of campers, trailers and tents creating a "NASCAR City" all around the track.  Basha's even has a "grocery trailer" set up where you can buy essentials such as ice, TP and doughnuts.  People had even brought golf carts, quads and bikes to get them from their front "porches" to the track. 

We got there early in the morning and people were up making breakfast, heading down to the track, and buying awesome NASCAR merchandise.  We were lucky to have track-side seats and pit passes which made the experience extra exciting.  The most shocking part about the whole thing was how LOUD the cars are.  It was something we probably won't do again - but it was quite the experience and the people watching was totally worth it.
