Running a G-rated race


 What's the
 big deal,"
 my brother
 Heath asked.
"We'll pack a tent and throw
a few hotdogs in the cooler.
It's just us fellows. We'll be
fine." He was probably right.
What did our wives know?
I reckon this very nation
was settled by men just like
us, willing to ride off half-
cocked with only a pack of
weenies in their saddlebags.
Just because it was Thursday
of race week and we still
hadn't shored up the little
details, like tickets and a
place to stay, was no call to
be going soft. Surely a little
ole' NASCAR race in some
tiny town called Talladega


wouldn't draw that many
people.
 We left that Saturday
before daybreak. Stopping at
a local truckstop we loaded
up with ice for the two
coolers of food our wives
had packed. Oddly, there
was a wait at the checkout
line. When I finally laid
my money on the counter
the lady said, "You must
be going to Talladega?"
My head cocked sideways,

She just smiled, "Honey,
people been coming through
here all week." We were 229
miles from Talladega. Maybe

truck, Heath's little boy
Noah had already fallen
back asleep. He looked
so innocent. Something
triggered me to say, "Maybe
we should've seen that new
movie 'Talladega Nights' so
we'd know what to expect."
Heath just waved me off.


NYWAY "Nah, we'll
 see it all
 first hand
 tomorrow
 night.
 Besides, I
 heard the
 movie's
heffield got some
 cussing in it.
 You know
 we don't watch that stuff
 around my house."
 "Yeah, I'm sorry," I
 admitted, "I don't know what
 I was thinking."
 On the way down I
