Devin and I went to the Daytona International Speedway to watch the Gatorade Duel races which I think are one of the qualifying races for the Daytona 500. Devin got free tickets from his boss.
On the drive up we stopped at an old library to find a letterbox which we found. We got there right after the first race started. We spent some time walking through Midway which is where the vendors have booths set up for selling things or showing things off. Devin liked looking at the cars on display. Then we settled into our seats in the Petty Tower to watch the races. The first race I picked the neon green car because it was the easiest to see of all the cars. It did well for most of the 60 laps but then fell back in the last 2 laps. The next race I was rooting for the Target Car and the Crown Royal car, both of which were 1st at some point in the race, but neither one won. The races were really loud and I'm glad friends warned me ahead of time to bring ear plugs. It was interesting seeing the race, and now I can say I've been to one, but it's probably not something I really want to do again.
