I was lucky enough to be back in Charlotte for work this week. Being a huge NASCAR fan, I went to the Pit Crew Challenge last night. It was a blast! Here are a few pictures from the event:
My seat for the night. I bought my ticket online yesterday morning and was srtill able to get the 6th row in the center of the arena ...
Of course the Droid X takes horrible low light pictures, but I had to take a picture of my favorite driver's crew .. the #29 crew ...
A great panorama shot from my seat ...
The guys from Speed broadcasting live were on the big screen scoreboard ...
Ryan from West Coast Customs was a few rows behind me and one section over! ...
Tony Stewart showed up to cheer for his pit crew ...
So did Denny Hamlin ...
The final round of the night was between the #48 crew and the #11 crew ...
Chad Knaus (crew chief of the 48 team) was cheering his guys on, but the 11 team was just too fast. Hamlin's team won easily making them the only pit crew in the 7 year history of the challenge to win twice (they won back to back because they were the champions last year).
It was a fun event and something I would love to attend again in the future. I have a video of the last round, but it's too large to upload at the moment. I will try to edit it tomorrow evening and post it.
