19 is a Hochevar fan.

He ain’t doing so well today.

I told 19, “He’s sponsored by Spectrum…should’ve known there’d be lag.” 🤷🏽‍♀️

Watching Disney’s “Cars” umpteen million times with 19 when he was younger had me thinking this would be a lot more exciting than it actually is 🤷🏽‍♀️

Stage 2 is over…do we sing “Sweet Caroline” now or something?

Gorgeous sunset out here…some reprieve from the sunburn for those we managed to survive unscathed, thus far

Yellow flag…feels like a tv timeout at a NFL game.

Lots of movement to the concessions.

None of us know sign language, but hubs, 19, and I are creating new ways to communicate in the middle of all this noise.

Could be an interesting psychological experiment.

The sun is finally going down, but the amount sunburns I’m seeing is heartbreaking.

People - sunblock up!

You’d think #NASCAR would be spraying sunblock into the stands…skin cancer isn’t good for fan retention

#66 has moxie.

Not enough speed, but definitely moxie.

Bless its heart

At my first NASCAR race in 20 years.

Who are these people without hearing protection?!?!?
