Speedweeks 2011

With Ian being in classes all weekend, Brayden and I decided to go with my parents to Daytona International Speedway to check out the qualifying on Sunday. It ended up being a beautiful day and it felt great to be outside. This was Brayden's first visit to the track. We stopped by one the first stores and bought him a Tony Stewart shirt (he had to be dressed in race gear)!. After that we walked around the trailers and was able to see Kasey Kahne giving autographs. Shortly after that and right before we got into the infield, Brayden fell asleep. He has a tendency to fall asleep right before the action! We were able to walk around the fanzone and check out the garages and see pit row. We went to check out the inspections and one of the cars started up and it scared Brayden so he was up to see all the action. It was a short nap! He loved watching the cars go around the track. I was nervous at first that it would be too loud for hi but with just one car going around at a time it wasn't that bad. At the end we took the tram back to the parking lot. I think that was the best part of Brayden's trip. He loved the tram. While on the tram, Carl Edwards was riding in a golf cart behind us. I couldn't get my camera out quick enough to get a picture!
