RATT N Roll was in full force at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California on Sunday, March 24 2013, as NASCAR made its yearly visit to my backyard. RATT

Going to a race and concert means waking up at 5am to get to the track for the pre-race concert. For this year’s concert was L.A. Rockers RATT took the stage at 10am and kicked ass through an 11-song set.
 
Even though that’s early for Angelinos, over 80,000 fans showed up for the race and concert. The race itself had plenty of excitement with two drivers wrecking each other on the last lap on turn 4 heading to the checkered flag. Unfortunately, Driver Denny Hamlin hit the wall very hard and had to be taken to the hospital… he suffered a broken back.
 
Below are some additional photos of the concert and race. -Enjoy, Ralph
