  On september 17th, we went to the Sylvania 300 in Loudon NH.  We were able to check out the pits and see the race preparations up close.  A representative from Penske showed us around and gave us some information on the team, and NASCAR in general (we are a little new to the sport).  This was the best part of our experience; from this perspective we were able to observe the teams getting ready for the race and admire the advanced technology of the cars and the equipment.  We were also a little surprised how many people were there (it took us over an hour to drive the last 6 mile strech to the track).  We loved watching the race, and saw some pretty exciting maneuvers from the drivers.
