Scott Speed gets a ride in Sprint Cup!

How exciting! My favorite Nascar driver has a ride in Sprint Cup for the next three races.  The first race starting today at the Brickyard 400 in Indianapolis.  The Brickyard 400 was the first race I attended which made me hooked on racing.  My dad, uncle and I went to Indianapolis for the day back in 2007.  We took two flights to get there and on our way to get back to the airport after the race we missed our flight.  However, My dad and uncle wanted to stay till the very end because their favorite driver was in the lead for the majority of the race.  We had to spend the night in the airport but had a 6AM direct flight to Boston.  All in all it was a great race and great time.  I am excited to watch the Brickyard 400 and cheer on Scott Speed.  He has no sponsor and is looking to drive the entire race! Most of the time if a driver has no sponsor they "start and park" which means they start the race to get points and get the car out there.  Once they race a few laps they park the car in the garage to make sure the car doesn't get involved in a wreck.  Let's go Scott Speed!  The picture below is when I met Scott Speed last year at New Hampshire Motor Speedway!
