Well it's here -- AMP Energy 500 weekend. This is the week we all enjoy so much and why we work so hard.
Campers began arriving Saturday to line-up for the Family Campground. I had the chance Monday to go out and talk with some of them. Everybody is excited and ready to set up their homes for the next 5 or 6 nights. I met one gentleman who said he had been to all of the races during the 40 year history. He had some really good stories about everybody from Brickhouse to Earnhardt.
That's one of the best parts of my job -- letting the fans educate me. It's amazing what you can learn when you just sit and listen to the customer. Some of the biggest and most significant changes have come from ideas brought to us by our fans.
Fans who visited the Hall of Fame Monday got a neat surprise as Bobby Allison was hanging around the Hall of Fame doing some promotional photos. He also signed a few autographs for fans waiting in line to buy tickets.
That's another neat thing about our sport, you never know when you might bump into one of the sport's legends or stars. So this weekend if you're around the track, keep your eyes open, because they will be around.
