Just went on some new trails with the pup and stopped by a local fruit/veggie store to check out their stock of peaches. They had fresh fruit slushies, one was blackberry, oh so good!

Back home, safe and sound. I had fun, but I didn't feel as welcome as I did at other race tracks, including Bristol.

Maybe I am being self conscious, but it just felt like people were staring at me. Everyone was friendly though. Just felt different. Oh well, I had fun and it was my buddy's first race.

Don't feel bad. You were in ky, they were probably just trying to figure out if you were a cousin or not!

Never been to the KY track. Glad you had fun, and glad you got to see Kyle get the win lol.

Just had a Kirby vaccum sales woman stop by. She cleaned our whole carpet! Neat machine, but not sure I want to invest $3,000 in a vaccum.

Haha, I know right! Amazingly every time I said no, the price dropped. I finally walked away, now my wife is gently trying to let her down.

Are you a Kyle fan? If so, that's why.

So how was it?

The guy they have doing their commercials now is creepy as hell. I'm convinced Popeye's or Bojangles paid off the ad firm working for KFC.

I agree! I love fried chicken, but I'm a homer for my KFC! I'd eat it a lot more if my wife would.

I love the commercials! The food was tasty. I'm not a huge fried chicken guy I only have it about once every other month, so when I dine on some I want it to be great. It was piping hot and super crispy. Plus we were starving.

We didn't get back to the hotel until 1am and we didn't wake up til 10:50am so we were hungry when we arrived in Corbin at 2:45!

One last thing about how I felt at the race. It really goes to the credit of Tennessee and what not. I've grown up here and I've never felt "different" even though I've always been in a minority. So when I go someplace and I feel "different" it sorta smacks you. I don't want to sound rude to the race fans, because everyone was very kind to me, but I just got a feeling that I was an outsider. That kinda hurts when it's a sport that you've watched pretty much all your life. Anyway, I'm probably being overly sensitive, but it certainly made an impression upon me.

Glad you enjoyed the chicken, but sorry about the other stuff.
