This past weekend had to be one of the best if not the best of my life. My sister and her boyfriend bought me a ticket to the NASCAR race at Kentucky Speedway this past Saturday. We got up at about 4:30 or so in the morning and made almost a 7 hour drive up to Sparta, Kentucky. We finally got there and checked into our hotel room. We turned right around and decided to head to the track early so we could get in easier. Some NASCAR workers drove us up to the gates at the front of the track. The size of the track was amazing. We sat in row 3 coming off of turn 4. The flyover was amazing also. Everytime the cars would come around you could feel the ground shake and then it was just a blur. Even though we didn't really see a lot of action like wrecks or spins or super close racing, it was still awesome. I won't complain though because that was probably the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. Yesterday before we came back we stopped by Ark Encounter. It was a replica of Noah's Ark. It was huge. It was 7 stories tall with like 4 different floors you could go on. It had just about every animal Noah had on board and bibles preserved from AD 200s.
