Daytona 500









It is a Finkell family tradition (or at least the boys) to camp out in the in-field at the Daytona 500. It is a fun filled week, full of different races, and a lot of in-field activities. My Dad and Uncle Don have been going as long as I can remember, and my brother just lives and breathes Nascar! You would never think that standing on top of a motor home and watching a race would be so much fun. But it is a blast. In fact there is a whole community in the in-field! Rain or shine, or even blistering cold weather everyone still has lots of fun! The one rule of staying in the in-field is "What happens at the Races, stays at the races." But I couldn't resisttaking a few memorable snapshots of the wheelbarrow races. That was the funniest thing I have ever seen! They have wheelbarrows decorated as race cars and one person rides in it, and another pushes, and who ever crosses the finish line first without falling over wins! David and James had to try it, and of course they won a race!!! We had so much fun! Can't wait till next year!
