A Weekend of Racing

Hey guys so I went on another racing adventure this weekend and this time it took me all the way to TWO new racetracks! Starting off with New Jersey Motorsports Park. This place is super cool! It is a 2.2 mile road course and the whole facility is a big park and it is really pretty. I went for the ARCA Racing Series race which my guy Dalton Sargeant was running in. Now when I say this day was an adventure it really was.

The day started with us getting up at 4:45 in the morning and getting ready for a three hour drive to New Jersey. The drive was pretty uneventful. It was full of jamming and loving the beautiful summer weather.

We finally got to the track and went to walk around. My family got the general admission ticket and for a low price it got us a lot of stuff. We had access to the garage and you could basically walk into the garage and see what was going on. That is one thing I love about ARCA is that you have really good access to meeting drivers and seeing stuff happen. Don't get me wrong though I do love NASCAR but ARCA is more fan friendly. But anyhow so we got to watch the two practice sessions and Dalton did really well.


One of the people I have been dying to meet is Christopher Bell's girlfriend, Morgan Kemenah. She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I got to talk to her for a good bit of time too and she is just so funny and sweet as can be.

Another thing that ARCA does that I like a lot is that before every race the drivers stand at their cars and sign autographs. Again I love the fan interaction and getting to see friends makes it pretty awesome too! I got see Dalton after seeing him at Orange County which was really fun. He is one of the best guys I know in racing and his team is so funny and they are always fun to see.



So finally the race came around and Dalton had a pretty eventful race, About a quarter of the way through the race Dalton spun and wound up going a lap down but he had an awesome come back and finished 3rd.




I also got the opportunity that weekend to go to Dominion Raceway for the K&N Pro Series East race. Dominion is a race track that is super close to my house and it is brand new so that was an adventure I had to check out. My mom and I drove down there for the race. I got to meet Noah Gragson and see a pretty fun race. I have always found the K&N Pro Series to be fun to watch. Those are some drivers that are going somewhere and man they showed that Monday. It was an awesome race and Spencer Davis was a first time winner and those are always fun to watch.

So basically my Memorial Day Weekend  was filled with racing but that is no shocker. I had such a fun time exploring new racetracks and having some good quality family time. I hope you all took time to honor the men and women that made free weekends possible. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and make sure you are following me on Twitter for some questions for future post ideas and all that fun stuff!
