2023 NASCAR Thread - Goodbye Ken Squier

[dridings]

Going to take my Dad to Wilkesboro for the race on Sunday, hes 73 and has Parkinsons. Does anyone know where or how to purchase handicap parking? Or would there be a better place to park?

I wish I could copy the entire e mail from yesterday's parking/traffic presser. The website has all the parking info on it. You will need to purchase parking, as there will be nothing free available.

Potential disaster averted for the All-Star race. Camper was lined up, but due to a malfunction we couldn't use that camper. Lined up a second option, but the dude's wife ixnayed it yesterday.

Ended up renting an RV and will still be there Thursday through Monday.

If you're heading up next weekend, shoot me a PM and you're welcome to come hang out. We're camping just across the road outside of turn 4. Parking is $20 per day and first come, first serve.

Ross and Larson finished the race as expected. Just hard racing, and hate it for their guys.

Potentially have one Fri-Sun All-Star weekend ticket available, face value, sitting with yours truly. If it becomes available, anyone interested? Sitting in turn 1.

Chilling in our camping spot, right across from the track outside of turn 4. Looking forward to this weekend!

Will be up there on Sunday, and may have two extras for that day if anyone is looking. Should be a fun time, hope the weather cooperates!

Did you stay the entire time? I heard the races didn't end until after midnight.

We left in the middle of the ASA race. We still didn’t get back to Raleigh until 1.

I'll honk at you from the shuttle bus where I will be living the rest of the weekend.

If you squeeze in some free time, let me know. We have some local firewater to relieve the stress.

Not a bad view for the festivities.

Not a bad view for the festivities.

They are indeed great seats. We were sitting in just about the exact same spot for the Late Model race held back on August 31. Watching two things come out of retirement together (North Wilkesboro Speedway and Dale Junior) was spectacular.

Extra credit to the dude sitting in front of you wearing the RATT t-shirt. What a shitty band (that I somehow thought was cool when I was 14).

Enjoy yourself this weekend!

The 43 and 29 are immaculate. Absofucking beautiful under the lights.
