Long-time friends Larry Bragg and Eric Zeder decided to camp right outside the Speedway for the weekend.

"This is actually the first time we've ever been to a NASCAR race party. They were just talking about how great this is, and we're like "We need to go check it out.. my birthday weekend.. This is perfect," Zeder said. 

The last few years, the race was rained out. This year fans are hoping for dry weather so they can enjoy the race. But they have a plan just in case.

"If it rains, we're staying for the rerun, which they might reschedule from Monday or Tuesday, depending on the weather. So we're staying no matter what. So if we run, we run. If we don't, we're staying until they do run," Bragg said.
