The free food and beer is a good deal as well..It's a 4 hour hike each way but I don't mind it once a year.
Yep. I had the pleasure of being in the pits in the July '91 race when D. Waltrip flipped down the back stretch. Rutman got up against Waltrip and I have Rutman's fender from that wreck out in my garage.

Awesome Bill won the race and I was in his pits when he went accross the finish line.

It was a great experience, but the only racing I got to see was when they flew by on the front stretch....LOL! I got a ton of autographs that weekend. But the highlight would have to be when I got to go into the King's hauler and sit in the lounge with him and talk to him. He really is a good ole boy.
