Those of you who are deep in preparation for it may be thinking that I am talking about Thanksgiving. But NO WAY!! I am talking about something much more exciting ...
THE SPRINT CUP CHAMPIONSHIP RACE!!
Ever since Nascar announced the new format for this year's championship, fans everywhere have been talking about it and expressing their opinions about the change. But there is no denying that this has been one of the most exciting years of racing. Ever.
And after Sunday's race, Nascar will have a first-time Champion. There are alot of fans who were really beginning to get disillusioned with the sport because the same guys kept winning the championships. But this year - not so! This year was so exciting and with four fresh faces in the finals, the championship race promises to be an event to remember!
I just heard that there are about 1,000 tickets still available at Miami-Homestead for the Big Day. They also have some campsites available. I am SOOOOO tempted to be spontaneous and just pack up and go, but since we just winterized the RV on Tuesday and since there is that nasty little matter of jobs .....
We will be watching all the coverage from the comfort of home. We'll watch everything pre-race, and truth be told, we will probably have the Nascar station playing on the Sirius/XM too! Even during the race we will mute the television and listen to the MRN broadcast. Those guys are great and there are far less commercials. I told you, we are really big fans!
And unlike the Super Bowl parties we usually attend, we will be watching this one alone. No kids. No friends. Nobody. We're not trying to be anti-social or offend anyone. It's just that, well, we don't want to miss a second of the excitement and they might want to talk and be all sociable ;-)
I'm already planning our menu. I haven't decided exactly what it will be, but I know this much -- it will be a make-ahead something. Maybe wings, grilled then kept warm in the sauce in the crockpot. Or maybe pulled pork sandwiches. What I do know is I'm not cooking OR serving after the race starts. It will be every Nascar fan for themself at this Happy Wife's house!
What are your Championship Race Day plans? Whatever they are, I hope you have a great time! And don't call me - I won't be answering the phone that day either!!
