Washed and ready for the open road!
How do you know that you love your barn and your barn friends? You do insane things like drive five hours to an event directly after a 12 hour workday. You bring the things they may have forgotten, good luck charms and snacks. You watch the sunset from the cab of your truck with an audiobook serving as your only company. You stop at Taco Bell even though you swore you wouldn’t because a soda would be really really really nice right now. You sleep in your truck at the show because driving another 15 minutes down the road is an exhausting thought. You do all of this just so you can share in the joy of it all and see smiling faces after an adrenaline filled trip around the cross country track. Those moments make spending 10 of 24 hours in the car so very worth it.
