Three hours and counting …
It’s almost time folks.
The Thunder cars are still going around the track, and one of them has lost its tire and wheel.
But the stands are starting to fill.
Scott Cooper, VP of communications, said earlier today, at a photographer’s meeting, that the race is on target to beat its attendance record from last year’s All-Star Race. The speedway seats about 165,000 people, plus folks in the infield. That is a pleasant surprise to Humpy and Co., considering the current state of the economy and gas prices.
Right now, the spin-out contest has begun. Since this is the All-Star Race, the drivers are showboating and hot-shotting it up for the fans.
Oh, and the stands continue to fill.
