As we were making our way back to my car, wandering through the pits, Mr. Hill hollered at us from under his pit canopy "hey, come in out of the rain!". So we did. We wound up spending the rest of the afternoon with him, eating hot dogs off of his grill and drinking cokes from his cooler. Even though we missed the races that day, my now 25 year old son recalls it as one of his favorite race day memories. Mr. Hill is a fine gentleman and a wonderful story teller.

Wish we had more stories like this. Hotdogs and sodas, cost almost nothing to a big race team, however you did not see a car run that day and your son still talks about it. Now days drivers probably have steak and lobster clauses in their driver contracts, please remove certain color M&Ms from the bowl, brand X bottled water, etc.....
