From the Starter's Stand: Race Season is Just Around the Corner

Thursday, February 5, 2009

Hey there race fans!!!  Can you believe that January is already gone and we are five days into February already!?!?  It just makes me realize that race season is just around the corner!  Only 22 days until NASCAR Weekend...I am totally excited!  And, we are a little less than six weeks away from opening night at the Bullring...it will be here before we know it.  I am counting down the days!! :)

I think I am most excited about seeing the Bandoleros and Legend cars (the cars I am used to flagging at the Bullring) going down The Strip on Saturday and Sunday.  I worked at the drag strip last weekend and was tickled pink to watch a couple of the Legends run a pretty decent pass.  I do have to admit, it was a little weird seeing those little cars go down the track (they look so tiny on that track)...but Frank and Justin did great!!!!  I can't wait to see who comes out this weekend to try it out!  If you aren't busy and are looking for a bit of local racing to watch, head out to The Strip and take a peek on Saturday and/or Sunday morning.  I promise you will have a good time!  You can also get a look at the junior dragster program as well.

Don't forget we have Midnight Mayhem Presented by MetroPCS this Friday night.  This weekend you can catch me in the timeslip booth on Friday and Saturday.  So if you come out to The Strip, make sure you stop by and say hi!

Until then...see you at the races!

Yeah I agree, who is the entertainment for the Sprint cup race? I know that Gordie guy is doing something pre race but that isn't the actual music entertainment right? Well who ever I hope it is good, seems like vegas don't get the entertainers/music guest some of the other races do, too bad.

Hey who is the entertainment going to be this year, California has Bush's frontman, last year LVMS had Jason M Carroll, is it going to be someone better this year?
