It’s Monday. Rain. It always rains on Nascar weekend in Chicago. My girlfriend’s son got us some free tickets to the race, so we decided to head into the city on Sunday to check it out. We got up there a couple hours early which gave us time to see the Keith Urban concert in Grant Park and grab some food. I’m not much of a country fan, but Keith put on a good show.

With it being a street race, I knew going into it that getting a good view of the action would be tough. It’s not like an oval track where you can see the entire layout. Instead all you can see is a few hundred feet to your left and right. We opted for the concert stage where you could see NBC’s coverage on two large screens. When the rain hit we decided to pack it up and head downtown. It was fun, but I think I’ll stick to watching the road course races from home.

Gonna have another slice of Geno’ East and hit the sack!
