You don't know her like I do

Chapter 8: Very First Cup Race

Ally's P.O.V

I woke up early with Ryan's arms around me. I looked up at him and smiled and thought how did I get so lucky. I slowly try to get out of bed and out of Ryan's grasp. I decide I'm go and get me some coffee because if not I realize there is no way I'm making it through the race today. I woke Ry a note:
Dear Ryan,
If you wake up while I'm gone I'll be back soon I just went down to the cafe to get a coffee so I can stay awake today.
~Al.

With that I walk out of the room and go to the elevators and go down a couple floors to the cafe. Once I get my coffee I decide to stop by the gift shop and get something for Ryan. I walk around and look and see a box of chocolates. "He's gonna love this." I say finding a box of chocolates that have chocolate race cars in it. I keep looking and see some little cars. Ryan loves to play with these things even though he's like 23. (Watch the Penske files on YouTube. It proves it😂😂) I see a couple of cars that have NASCAR designs. I see one that looks like Ryan's car and I grab it and go find a card then go to the register. "I like your selection of gifts. Mind if I ask who there for?" The nice lady at the register asks. "My boyfriend." I simply say. "Tell him I hope he feels better." "Thanks" I reply. I sign the cad and then grab the bag and head back up to Ryan's room.

When I get there he's already awake. "Hey Al. I got your note." He says. "Okay. Sorry I was just super in need of caffeine and I also stopped and got you a little something too." I say and hand him the bag. "I'm the one who's supposed to spoil you. Not the other way around." He says. "Just open the gift or else you'll have a lot more than just a concussion and a broken rib." "Well damn since when are you so violent." He says while he opens his gift. He first reads the card and reads it and smiles ear to ear. Then he pulls out the chocolate. "I SWEAR YOU THE BEST GIRLFRIEND EVER" he says nearly screaming. "Quiet Ry some people are sleeping" I say giggling then he pulls out the car. "You seriously know me better than anyone else. Maybe even more then I know my self." He says smiling. " and this is also what my car should look like right now instead of like a wad of metal sitting on a hauler." He laughs. I walk over to him and watch him play with the little replica 21 wood brothers Ford Fusion. I smile and kiss his cheek and he continued to smile and play with the car. I chuckle a bit. "You make me so happy ally." Ryan says kissing me.

"Okay sir. He is good to go" the nurse says as she take the release papers from  Dave. Ryan had changed back into street clothes and is ready to go. "Hey baby. I'll meet you at the track before intros. I have to get back for a drivers meeting." I say as I peck Ryan's and lips and I scurry off down the hallway and out to the parking garage to find my Camero and drive back to he the track.

*skip to intros*
My
"Starting 3rd in the Napa 24 Chevrolet. Chase Elliott". As Chase walks out I lllphear the announcer starts introducing the front row. "Starting 2nd in the 23 Red Bull Ford Fusion. Allison sanders" I begin to walk out and into the truck and go around the track. Once I get to my car and I immediately smile. "Hey Ry. Looking good. Why are you down here, not that I'm complaining but you shouldn't you be with Bubba with your car" I say looking at Ryan in a Penske polo. "I SHOULD be at my pit but my crew can handle Bubba and I decided that if I'm welcome I would love to watch the race from your pit box" he says. "I would love it for you to watch it from my pit box." I say smiling really big. "Ladies and Gentlemen please rise and remove your caps for the invocation." I here over the speakers.

"Amen" me and Ryan say. Ryan stands on my right and has his left arm around me and his right hand on his heart as the national anthem played.

*skip national anthem*

The drivers were soon called to the cars. "Be safe babe. I love you. Show Kyle who really deserves to be up front" Ryan says and pulls me into a kiss. "I will babe. Love you more." I say and hop in my car and begin to put my helmet on and get strapped in. "Drivers! Start your engines." I hear and turn on my car. Ryan puts up my window net after kissing my helmet for good luck and says "rock and roll babe" and put his hand in the window like this🤘🏻 and with that we started to pull off pit road.

"Yesss. Yesss. Ahhhhhhhh. This ones for you Ryan." I yell over the radio. I can't believe I just won the Daytona 500. I pull down the front stretch and do my burnout. I eventually pull into victory lane and see everyone. My dad, Ryan, mark, Mr. H,bubba, chase, brad, Joey, the blaney's and my whole crew and many more. I get out of my car and soda and confetti begins to fly everywhere. "Yesssssss. Woahhhhhh" I yell and eventually get down from my car. When I get down I see my dad and he is the first person I run to. "I did it daddy!" I say in his ear. "I know kiddo. I'm so proud of you and mommy is too" he says and I let a tear fall knowing that she is. I let go of my dad and went to Ryan. "She's so proud of you. I am. Everyone is. I love you so much ally." Ryan says as I hug him. "This is win os for you." I say and kiss him. "Damn Ryan let us say congrats before you steal her." Bubba says. I laugh and let go of Ryan and go see the guys they each give me a hug and chase hugged me for a longer period of time just to mess with Ryan. "Watch this." Chase says and pulls me into a hug and kisses my forehead. "Back off, Elliott" Ryan warns him. And chase lets go and me him are dying laughing. "Good job out there kid. Keep those wins coming for my team and you'll be a champion in no time.maybe even beat Jimmes record" rick says laughing. "Not funny. Mr. H" Jimmie says and I laugh.

I finally finsh my interviews and victory lane had cleared out. I drive my car to my hauler and go back to victory lane for some alone time. "Hey mama. I did it. Everything that I'd worked for finally payed off. Wish you were here to see it though. Daddy misses you a lot. I love you mommy." I say looking up at the stars in the sky. "You know she's really proud of you right" Ryan says putting an arm around me. "Yeah." I let a tear fall. Ryan sits there with me and just holds me while I'm letting the win soak in and thinking about my mom. "I'm really tired I think I'm head back to the motor home unless you want me to stay?" He says. "No. Go ahead I'm just gonna spend a couple more minutes here then I'll head back." I say. "Okay baby. I love you Allison" he says before heading back.

Eventually I head back and when I get there I see Ryan's already asleep. I change and then hop into bed and drift off to sleep.
