Think that's doable for a guy like Bacon?

I think that’s very doable. If there’s 25000 in the stands on Saturday, then there’s easily another 2000 around the campers around town, plus the town population of 7500. Brady’s t-shirt game is strong.

I gotta say the best part of being there is that the whole week (Tuesday - Sunday morning) was that not a soul asked me if i was an R or D, or if i preferred wings or traditional. They were just glad to see us and loved sprint car racing. Sure, we saw some good racing and some parades, but the vibe was 100% the euphoria of temporarily belonging to a town that loves sprint cars to its core! I mean, the HyVee designates part of their parking lot for race parking. Imagine getting towed for NOT being at the race!!

I will agree with my brother in that was the coolest atmosphere I have ever experienced. I will write a more detailed look into my week later. I regret not going sooner. If you are a fan of sprint car racing this something I hope you’ll get to experience for yourself. I met so many cool people from all over(Aussies are the best) and i don’t drink!!!

" Brady’s t-shirt game is strong." Thats for sure...
I keep telling myself to stop buying T-shirts, but his graphics are so damn good I can't resist
