Race Day!!!

Wow!! What a fun filled day! We had lunch in the Hendricks tent. They served lunch, Jeff Gordon, Jimmy Johnson, Mark Martin, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. all came to talk and answer the audience questions. Then Matt, Brian, Steve, Nate, Brett, Ryan and Darin all were in a contest with tools. Just what they enjoyed! They all did so well they ended up in the top 5 and won a bunch of tools!!!
