Weekend in Charlotte, NC
You can see all of my photos from our race weekend here.
Our neighbor, Tim, had two extra tickets to the Coca-Cola 600, so we piled in the truck with him and his brother, Jack, for a Memorial Day-weekend in Charlotte. We left our house around 8am on Friday morning (May 22nd) and stopped for breakfast [...]
