Gift of Lights
Gift of Lights
What better way to kick off the Christmas season than visiting Texas Motor Speedway? But, wait, it’s not what you think. You won’t be watching and hearing race cars roar by, but rather driving thru a 1.7 mile long display of nearly two million lights! For all you avid racecar fans hoping to get on the track, the entire display is under the massive bleachers. Can you imagine the enormity of this place?
The Media
My family and I were lucky enough to get a VIP media tour of Gift of Lights last week and were excited beyond belief. Normally, we get our visual kicks by strolling thru our neighborhood. This was a real treat for us; especially since we had never been to the Texas Motor Speedway.
