This past weekend the Chevy Rock n' Roll 400 race was held at Richmond International Raceway. James, Maddie and my Dad were guests of Chevy. They spent all day Saturday at the race and were also treated to a concert by Daughtry. (Slideshow below). The race was a long and exciting one, with many stops because of collisions.
Last year, Maddie got to meet the Barenaked Ladies. This year, she did get to talk to Chris Daughtry when he and band visited the Chevy suite, but there were no photos and no autographs. According to James, the band members came in, ate, said a few hellos and then left. Chris Daughtry spent the majority of his time smoking on the balcony. This was a big change from when the BNL were there last year - they spent time in the suite talking to everyone there, shaking hands, taking photos with the guests and graciously signing autographs. Oh well, I guess some guys just aren't that social...
Anyway, Dad had a great time in the suite, being pampered by the Chevy folks. We are so grateful to everyone there for showing the gang such a wonderful time. James was able to visit with our friend, Kip, as he did last year. Maddie was so excited to see Kip and he certainly noticed how grown up Maddie is becoming!
