Cowboy Action with a side of NASCAR.

We love NASCAR also and Monday we headed out to the Penske Museum here in Scottsdale.

It houses with luxury showrooms like Maserati, Ferrari, Aston Martin and Bentley’s. Pretty to look at but no touching. 😁 not unless you got a cool half a million plus US to buy.

The Penske Museum is a free visit and the showroom is immaculately kept! At all times! The guy must have cleaned the floor 4 times while we and others were there.

Inside you will find winning car’s, driver stats, winning team pace cars from various years, engines and beautiful trophy cabinets.

Upstairs is a cafe, scale versions of cars the trophy cabinets and outdoor areas ready for events.

Down stairs and to the outside area and track is bricks from what were originally laid for the whole track of Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

These brick pavers marked by Wabash Clay Company were layed in 1909 over the tracks ‘once’ used asphalt and gravel track.

They repaved the whole track in just 63 days, 3.2 million paving bricks on 2 and a half mile track.

Jump forward to 1961 and all of the track bar ‘1 yard of bricks’ was asphalted leaving just the 1 yard of start/finish line of ‘the brickyard’.

A great little trip through NASCAR history for the Penske team.

From there it was a bit of shopping at Home Depot, Boot Barn for little ones and just relax, do washing and pack.
