The celebration hits its stride
The Peninsula campground is a buzz with activity, filled to capacity with RVs and campers, several who have been partying and mingling since day break. Strangers are invited in to campers for some air conditioning and drinks as everyone seems to enjoy in the old southern hospitality that blankets the camp grounds like the low continuos hum of the generators.
Many campers are playing games and waiting for pre-race festivities, while others sit in the shade with friends and talk about who will win tonight’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series All-Star Race. Judging by flags and overhead conversations, Dale Earnhardt Jr. is the odds-on favorite.
