Friday we took a trip over to Concord to visit Hendrick Motorsports, home of Dale Jr., Mark Martin, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson. We visited there last year so not much new other than Mark Martin. We picked up a few maps and decided to go to Roush-Fenway Racing before hitting the NASCAR Speedpark.I stayed in the car with a sleeping Ben and John while Jordan, Jared, Ella, and Jack explored the museum. Time for the track! NASCAR Speedpark is like a mini amusement park. Mostly go cart tracks but a few other things as well. Much to my surprise they had a track for Ella and Jack. A track where they could drive their own go cart. This was a little scaring. Introducing a 5 and 3 year old to driving might not be a great idea. Ella went first. She was a little slow and after 2 laps she was done. Jack was up. I had my concerns since he can be so timid. He strapped in and listened to the guys directions. Would he go? Would he get scared and want out? NO! He was hammered down the entire time. He looked like he was going to run into the wall but then he would turn. Whew. I laughed as he drove past me screaming "WHOOO MOM!" I did get the second rounds on the camera. Ella did much better the second time. Here is a taste of their driving skills.
