I want to mention that I'm not much of a race fan, but it's something that my hunny, Donald, dearly loves (and dreams of being a professional driver), and therefore, I tolerate attending a race every once in a while with him. These photos are from the Champion Racing Association Series (CRA) Budweiser 150--Presented by The Kyle Busch Foundation, at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. Thankfully, Mr. Canon Rebel, a set of earplugs,
a NASCAR driver (Kyle Busch), and a teenage lady racer, made it much more enjoyable for me to watch with him.
I wanted to cheer on
Johanna Long, because not only was she the only female driver in a field of males, but I'm not exactly a Kyle Busch fan, especially after his
antics from a recent victory he had here in Music City. Johanna Long is the driver of the #10 car, shown below,
leading Kyle Busch around the track like he's a sad little puppy. If I remember correctly, she is only 16 years old. I must say, I was pretty impressed with her racing skills, although, I have no idea what makes a good race car driver...crossing the finish line first I guess?
Kyle Busch didn't finish the race that day. Apparently something needed to be fixed on his car during the last few laps. It was fun using my telephoto lens as my binoculars that day though so I could get a closer look at what his pit crew was doing to try and "fix" the car.
