I apologize for the VERY long wait. Community college has kept me busy with homework, so I have to study hard, and wait for the chance to write more chapters. Hopefully, I can work out a schedule to do that, so please be patient with me, until the end of the semester in December.

Night has darken the sky over the state of Arizona, as CJ, Carly, their friends, Charlie, Loona, Octavia, and even Jangle, who stuck by them the whole time, setup a little camping ground within Phoenix Raceway's infield. They also had their cars parked out of the garage building, and near their tents. This was a rather unique camping experience for them all. Normally, it involves camping near or in the woods, or some kind of national park. A camp-out in a stock car race track was, definitely, out of the ordinary, but not unheard of.

As they continued to build their little campfire, everyone stopped, to hear Charlie's stomach grumbling loudly, causing her to chuckle sheepish. .

Charlie: Eh, I guess all this work's making me hungry. Any camp food, Sam?

Sam: Of course! I'll go git 'em.

While Sam walked back to his '70 Chevy Monte Carlo, Carly and Loona noticed two other people missing from the group.

Carly: Hey, where's my brother?

Loona: And Octavia?

Looking all around the infield, Jangle pointed towards CJ and Octavia in the distance, walking together with flashlights in their hands. They were heading towards another garage. As CJ opened up its door, they both saw some retired NASCAR race cars stored inside from years past, presumingly for the Rusty Wallace Driving Experience events. They ranged from the Winston Cup series, to the Monster Energy Cup Series. Octavia was in awe of all these past generation racing machines. CJ, meanwhile, explained to her why these were kept here.

CJ: As you can see here, these cars are kept here, for people to pay money to drive, or ride along around the track for a few laps. They're part of the Rusty Wallace Driving Experience.

Octavia: Rusty Wallace?

CJ: One of the famous NASCAR racing legends. Started racing back in 1980, and retired in 2005. Check it out.

That is when CJ showed Octavia a black, and yellow 1989 #2 Miller Genuine Draft Pontiac Grand Prix stock car.

CJ: During the Miller Genuine Draft 500 of 1992, this race car was dubbed "Midnight," after Wallace crossed the finish line at midnight. It was also the very first race car he ever raced in his debut.

Octavia: Ahh, I see.

The young Goetia teenager was amazed by this history fact. She may not know much about NASCAR, or any racing motorsport for that matter, but she found it intriguing to learn about it.

Octavia: So, do you have a favorite driver?

CJ: Yeah. Eh, let's see.

Scanning for another NASCAR race car, CJ saw a particular metallic dark blue and red flamed 2002 #24 DuPont Chevy Monte Carlo.
