The weather could not have been any better for spending the day at Atlanta Motor Speedway, we arrived around 10:30 this morning and picked up Bill's credentials. I gave Bill and Julie a tour of the track and the surrounding area in our customized golf cart before having lunch in the media center.
We were joined by our Speedway Motor Sports host from Charlotte for a more in-depth tour after lunch. Introduced Bill and Julie to Darrell Waltrip when we bumped into him entering the radio/TV booth.
Qualifying wasn't until 6:45 this evening so we spent a little time resting in Club One. Mark Martin, at age 50, the oldest competitor in the field took the pole, his first since May of 2001 and although the number of fans present was far less than normal, the roar could still be heard in the suites.
Tomorrow the truck race and a very important meeting with the SMI staff concerning our possible sponsorship involvement with NASCAR.
On a different note, the Dawgs added the last member of this years signing class with Orson Charles the tightend/wide receiver from Plant High School in Tampa picking UGA over USC and Tennessee. Ha,ha beat the Vols again for a top 100 recruit.
