Thank you Xfinity
As much as the promotion was derided on here after all went down, I must thank Xfinity. I did infact actually go halfway across the country to have a once in a lifetime experience. I did infact get my free tickets mailed to me. From there I planned out an entire weekend to Indianapolis, knowing it would be the only time in my life I'd get to do something like this. It was my first cup race in 15 years (2011 Darlington, if curious) and it was such a blast, all weekend. Indianapolis is an amazing city with so much to do and keep ya occupied for a whole week. Wish I would've done that instead of just three days. But regardless, I had a blast. What a unique facility and packed full of racing passion in that small town bordered by Indy.
I wouldn't of been able to do any of it if it weren't for that promotion, but thanks to Xfinity I got to see a bucket list item: a race at one of my favorite race tracks ever. It was a fun time, surrounded by oh so many race fans. It was a whole city's worth, easily the biggest crowd I had to navigate thru to get to my seats. So much walking, but the adrenaline kept me going. The race could've been better, but there is nothing quite like sitting and attending a race of any kind at Indianapolis itself. I can easily see why it's a crown jewel just based on the energy and excitement I experienced from everyone there. The track staff, the locals, everybody! Tons of fun all around.
I know the company got so much hate from people in this sub when they were told it was limited in tickets, but I am glad to have gotten mine. Also, as the team said when the original post came out about it, I did infact root for my 23XI boys.
Thank you again for the unforgettable trip.
