NASCAR!
One of the many exciting things that Jackson has to offer is the Michigan International Speedway. Fans from the surrounding area gather to watch these cars go in a circle at an average speed of 188 mph. It doesn’t sound that exciting, but it is definitely a lot different to experience this in person than watch it on TV. So my adventures started off on Saturday where my job, well what I thought my job was, was to track down Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch and get in front of these driver’s faces and get a photo of them, so I did just that. With Erik Holladay as my guide, I set off with my VIP pass to get into the garage area where I was playing the role of a paparazzi photographer. So I took their pictures and I only got threatened to be kicked out once by a NASCAR official because I backed into him, twice. Sunday was the exciting day with being able to stick my head through the fence as the cars are zipping by you at 190 mph. By the end of the day I had little pieces of tire in my hair and stuck to my face, all and all Erik and I had a good time and came out alive. oh PS I told Dale Earnhardt Jr. good luck and I shook his hand before the race on Saturday, no wonder he won.
