Our day started by being denied access to a BP station, because they have food there. We explained the situation and the clerk repeated his statement, "No Dogs. We have food." Lisa was not happy, or should I say irate. However, it wasn't worth the effort to educate this particular clerk - he was not going top get it. Our tails between our legs we left the BP in disgrace, hoping to keep Marley's up and wagging at the races today.

Back at the racetrack for another day, Marley's first activity was working the crowd. To spice it up a bit we let our six year old niece, Jalyn, work the big brown dog through traffic. Both did well. Marley met a lot of people and even a few canines.

After getting our exercise, we took a tram ride around the one and a half mile track. It was a good break for us, but was more for Marley's experience. She rode without incident even when she spotted a few horses as we passed by.
Yesterday, we missed a few photo ops as we forgot the camera battery in the hotel. We remembered it today and had to get Marley's picture in front of NASCAR best active driver's car.

She was accompanied by her puppy raiser for the day. They were constant companions the entire day, except when Marley was resting in the portable crate.

The race didn't start until 9 o'clock PM. Marley's ear plugs were put in place as we discussed puppy raising, not puppy racing (but that might be a fund raising possibility), with another spectator.

By the time the race started Marley was tired from a long day of walking and working that she wanted to be left alone. Her exhaustion and hearing deprivation lead to a successful evening. She made it through the entire race, 200 laps, without "crashing".
