The "500" Part, III: The 2008 Backyard 500

Well here I am again this week with my third post about the Backyard 500. Today's is about the 2008 Backyard 500, which as the last post my knowledge is pretty limited about this. I mean it was only two years ago, but I don't have that great of a memory I guess.
The few things a remember about this race were: wrecks, tears, and wind. The first part, well and can't remember any wrecks in particular, but I know for sure there were a lot, as there are every year. I'm positive about this because the "500" has the most wrecks of any race of the year. I can't even remember if the race ended in a green-white-checkered but it was a pretty crazy race.
Another thing about this race that I remember, was that following the race (which I won) Aaron was in tears. But I'm not going to be the one to make fun of him, because I've never felt the feeling of losing that race. I seriously can't think of how awful it must feel to almost win the Super Bowl of Baba Racing, and yet end up defeated. I mean just typing this is making me feel pity for my little brother and making me sad. I also believe that there was some controversy, but I'm not that sure.
Then the next factor was the wind. I remember it was one of the first times I went to Velocity. And after church we had breakfast, while waiting for a seat we had to wait outside and the wind was awful. The race was then delayed about half an hour because Baba Racing Stadium Abq is near a huge sandy plain, and sand was blowing everywhere. I'm not sure if the wind played a factor in the race, but it for sure it was crazy.
Well hope you guys enjoyed this post, anyways next week I'll post about the 2009 "500". Wow! Preseason Thunder2010 starts tomorrow. You can also come by to 'NBRA Fridays' pilot episode at the Red X Store tomorrow night at 6:30. So the season is just technically a day away I'm stoked! But until next time.
