Pepsi 400 – A Sweet Diversion

Img028Last night I had the wonderful opportunity to go with 3 great friends of mine Alex Castro (the 1st person I met in Jacksonville), Jim Sweet (an awesome friend and incredible servant), and James Smiley (My friend and Jui Jitsu Instructor) to the famed Daytona Speedway for the Pepsi 400.

A special thanks to Bill Killgannon and International Speedway Corp for the incredible tickets.

I am a fan of Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, both of whom got bumped out with less than 20 laps to go. But it was reall cool seeing Tony Stewart win and actually climb up into the Nascar officials booth to grab the checkered flag, drink a pepsi, and then crowd surf. I had never seen anything like that before.

If you have never had the opportunity to see a race live, wow is it something to see.

Click on the file to your left, if you hae Quick Time or Windows media player should play about 30 seconds of the caution lap after Gordon went down.. Bummer for me, but a big cheer for most of the fans who seen to hate him.

Somehow we’ve got to get Stovall out for one of these!
