On Saturday, Ever hear the revving engines as you're parking your car at Chicagoland Speedway. I've heard them for few year ago but did went check it out until this weekend when we finally checked it out. There's no charge to watch. You'll sit in the infield near where the cars start and end. I was suit up and riding with Richard Petty Ride-Along , I wound up grabbing two metal bars and squeezing in Tony Stewart car. It’s my first time Ride-Along so Richard Petty Ride-Along staff, who was strapping me in.
We took off from Pit Road and made for Turn 1 — made straight for yonder wall, it looked to me — and it felt as if someone was shoving my lungs into the back seat. We whipped into Turn 2, and I was ready to close my eyes. But, for reasons still unclear, I kept looking.
The ride got smoother on the back straightaway. By the time we passed the pits, I’d collected myself enough to think, Two laps to go. I might make it.
The second lap was better than the first. By now I was alert enough to note how close we were to the wall. (VERY!) Then third lap, because it was the last, was the best of all. I felt whew when driver geared down to end, not because I’d been in a car going really fast but because I’d been in a car going really fast and now I was about to get out of it.
And again get through out the window. I did get a tiny wobbly-legged.

Jennifer wanted to know how it felt. I said, “It a big wow and love it.
Later on I told Jennifer that can you imagine doing that for 267laps?” I couldn’t
I got some pictures here
