IOWA CORN INDY 250

We (me, mom, dad, gram & gramp Harves) went to the FIRST ever Indy car race at the new track in Newton, IA. We didn't get to meet Danica but it was still awesome.



Grandpa is on the Iowa Corn Promotion Board - who sponsored the race - so he got me box seats where it wasn't so loud. THANK YOU GRANDPA!!




6.23.07 Qualifying




We are off to the races!!!!




Me & mom.


New car.


Old car.




We watched a little of the qualifying. Those cars go FAST!!!



That evening we went to the corn growers tent & had supper. We got to meet Jeff Simmons - the driver of the Ethanol car. I got his autograph. Next time I'll get Danica's - & ask her if she wants to go out sometime (she can drive.)

6.24.07 RACE DAY



Check out the track!



That is my Grandpa.



The Tuttles unvailed the "bike" they made - it runs on ethanol. I got to see it up close & it is pretty cool.








Me & mom watching the race. Rusty Wallace was in the room next to us - we could see him through the glass. He designed the track.



Me practicing. I think I am ready for a real car now! Watch out Dario!!!!





Dario Franchitti won the race!! Did you know he is married to Ashley Judd? I am going to be a race car driver when I grow up:)
