Great weather, mid 70's and sunny. Better crowd today with a lot more excitement and energy in the air. Introduced Bill to Richard Petty, Richard Childress and several drivers in the garage area, got an insiders tour of the Hollywood Hotel with Jeff Hammond.
Excellent meeting with the Speedway Motor Sports staff just before watching the end of the truck race in Bruton Smith's suite directly over the flag stand.
Megan Peeler was there to sing the national anthem before the race and I had a chance to talk with her about how her career was going since winning the Colgate Country Regional Showdown in Thomaston then blowing away the competition in the national finals held at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville a couple of years ago. She was excited to see us again and was still thankful of the picture that I took in Thomaston the night she won that was used in her national promotion campaign. Sweet girl with lots of talent.
Tomorrow is race day, got to get started early.
