Not after the race, back at the travel trailer parked just
outside the track :) 'Course we'd havt'a wait till after we
actually watched the race. We usually record the broadcast so when
we get back from the track we can figure it out better ;) Nothin
like bein by the fence tho, with 30,000 horsepower blowin by at 200
mph, door handle to door handle, nose to toes ;)))) Been doin it
for many years ;)
Unlike some stock car fans, I like the road courses. If nothin
else it adds variety to the sport. I like short tracks the best
tho, Bristol TN, Richmond VA. WoO on dirt is another favorite.
Battleground Speedway, Houston, or TMS, Fort Worth.

Yeah, it was ;) Drivers can be a touchy subject. 'Course my
other favorites are the Corpus Christi boys, Texas' team, Terry and
Bobby Labonte.

Twice a year, the campground at Talladega becomes Alabama's
second largest city. 500 acres of jammed in RV's, and Mardi Gras
every night ;) I've had tickets for both races (April-Oct) for
some ten years now ;)
