Kansas, day 2

Today, I left the Beast early and headed out on a chilly walk.after I had walked for 45 minutes, I found myself on the prairie...


Surrounded by retail!! So, duh, of course I wanted to boost the local economy. So, I did. I mean, when in Kansas....
This afternoon, the Sprint Cars were practicing, so we just had to make good use of our HOT passes and we visited the garages where we saw....


Jimmie driving his car....


While Chad worked on top of the hauler. Yes, that is the bleak color of the sky behind him. Then....I saw


Jimmie himself...about to be mobbed...


You see his black hat in the middle here.


So we saw the crew working on Tony's car. I mean Smoke's car...and FYI...my friend Tony...


Flew with Smoke in his helicopter and private jet to St. Louis last night to see the Cards win...while in Busch Stadium, they sat in a suite above home plate with Ozzie Smith's son. Yep, just me, name dropping, living vicariously thru Tony!! Tonight they are not going to the game, they are going somewhere near Sedalia, Missouri to watch sprint car racing...


Back to the present, they had some weird drill working on the car while Smoke was in it....


Yes, I would climb out also!


He stayed in the garage while I continued to stalk him. Can you blame him?


Next up, Brad Keselowski....I was thinking he was my new favorite driver...


But he did not stop to visit....


Right to the hauler...maybe he had to go potty.


Carl Edwards being interviewed and the man next to him looks like he wants to make me go away. I'm not afraid of you!


Kurt Busch being interviewed...


Every race, he is the one I see the most. Why???


Today's favorite driver...Clint Bowyer. He was Mr. Social...so nice. I forgot that I did not know him and said: "hi Clint!!" in a rather boisterous way...I rather startled him...but, he smiled...and took off running! Ha!


Oh well, I won't stalk him again until tomorrow and maybe he will have forgotten! As we were walking around, I somehow stopped outside of Jeff Gordon's hauler and started to visit with a member of his crew. Somehow the conversation turned to the weather and I allowed as how my hands were freezing and this nice, and very cute crew member gave me a pair of Mechanix gloves. Yes, just like the ones I saw on the ground yesterday. I want you to know, I did not steal them, I was given a pair by a Gordon crew member. Did I mention that he was darling?? Yes, I am now the proud owner of a pair of Mechanix gloves. Papa Joe has already asked me if I will give them to him!
Papa Joe is on top of the Beast now....me, warm and safe in the belly of the Beast.
And elsewhere in the world...


Cole was at the Childress Vineyards...as in Richard Childress....


And Mallory...Harmy's cousin met Hope Solo in a bar in Chicago...photo from Robin.
Papa Joe is now talking about visiting the casino...$20.00 limit for me.
