Nationwide Cup… Sprint Cup… Brad Keselowski… Aside from occasionally looking at race results, I never went to or watched a full Nascar sponsored race. Like every sports fan, I knew of Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, and my absolute favorite — Danica! I’ll happily admit that I had a pre-conceived notion that Nascar was dim-witted and boring. After watching my first race at Phoenix International Raceway in November, I found myself in utter awe!
Sitting atop the Dodge Motorsports bus, I was able to take in the ambiance of the entire race and all of its glory. You don’t get to appreciate the intricacies that go into team racing until you actually watch it live. From the pit crew to the crew chief, there are no irrelevant positions within a team.
This weekend marked my second ever Nascar event, and I can say that I have so much respect for Nascar racing teams! I have a newfound respect for the sport.
This race was special because the 2012 Ram 1500 ST Express was the official driver parade lap vehicle! 22 Ram’s all lined up on the race track! It was insatiable! We had the honor of driving Brad Keselowski around the track.
Instead of blabbing further, I’ll just post some pictures from the track! You’ll notice an overwhelming trend in my photos. Anytime Danica was around, I snapped a photo… Danica, if you’re reading — Will you marry me? Seriously, though…
Signing off,
Miran Maric
