Fun day.
Favorite part: The flyover before the race.
Random fact: The Dayton 500 triples the population of Daytona Beach. Go figure.
Crazy coincidence: Over 200,000 people at the track today and we run into the ONE person that my friend Lynn wanted to run into. And this wasn't just any person... it was Carl Edwards (driver - #99), who she went to Jr. High with. He remembered her and gave her a big hug. Did I mention that this was under the backstretch grandstands, where you would pretty much expect to bump into ZERO drivers? It's even way more random than I've explained, but still... this is like a million to one shot.
