2010 Trip: The Main Event @ LVMS



Saturday February 27th

The above picture is of Harvick in his 33 car who ended up winning the Nationwide Race! When this picture was taken he was in 2nd place. The picture below was taken towards the end of Saturday's race.

During the race there is a number of helicopters flying around doing flips in the air. You can tell by the picture it wasn't the nicest day. The race was delayed a couple of hours due to rain and it was cold and windy during the race. We made it most of the time up on the camper, but when the sprinkles came we all headed in to the camper. We watched the rest of the race on the TV where it was warm. There was a 10 second delay between the race and the TV broadcast, so we would hear a loud boom sound then 10 seconds later we would see the crash on the TV. It was pretty cool.

Sunday February 28th
On Sunday Harvick came in 2nd place after, once again, Jimmie Johnson, who came in first. It was a perfect day out side and a great race.

The Nellis Air Force Base is located across the road from the race track. Every year towards the end of the National Anthem they surprise us by coming over the race track. I wasn't expecting them yet so I didn't get a good shot of them.
Mom, Me and Lee up on the camper watching the Race.

Here is Harvick! I took about 40 pictures of him and got a few good ones.
The picture above is towards the end of the race when Harvick was running 4th. He is Behind Jeff Gordon who lead a majority of the race and Jimmie Johnson who was running 2nd. Not really sure about the 33 car up front- think it was time for him to pit because the leaders just had.
This is one of the great views at the race track. You can see the campers above the track. Thanks Mom and Dad for another wonderful time at the Races!
