What an exciting Happy Gameday we had @ Atlanta Motor Speedway with a wonderful family of 10 from Winshape Homes! It was cold, but we didn’t care. The excitement was in the air from the moment we walked in, and everyone had a blast!
With a vision and belief that all children deserve to feel loved and well-cared for, S. Truett Cathy and his wife, Jeannette, established WinShape Homes over 30 years ago. Today, they’ve placed hundreds of children in need with families who are guided by Christ to care, and continue to support church ministries in establishing foster programs. WinShape families rely on an unparalleled network of care designed to ensure that children are restored in mind, body and spirit. To learn more about their mission and how you can help, please visit their website at www.homes.winshape.org
We all got to Atlanta Motor Speedway a couple of hours before race time so we could walk around in the pit and experience the cars, pit crews and drivers up close and personal. There were bands playing and the smell of BBQ filling the air! Around 2:30 we headed to our seats, grabbed some food and prepared for the FAST cars! Most of the kids had never been to a NASCAR race before and were excited to see just how fast these cars actually go! Lap one of the race started and everyone’s eyes got big and mouths were open! WOW!! Unless you’ve been to a NASCAR race before, you just can’t imagine how loud and fast these cars are. All of the kids were screaming and smiling and having a ball! Everything about the day was wonderful, and it was topped off with our names on the big screen as the announcer welcomed us to the race! How cool is that? We truly enjoyed every minute with these awesome kids and can’t wait to provide another Happy Gameday for them soon!
““It was cool seeing the pit area and watching the race live!””
“I really enjoyed the loud noise from the cars. It was exciting and fun!”
