The Magic of Belleville

Last weekend we were in Kansas racing at Belleville. If you have never heard of Belleville let me explain why this is so special.
 

Belleville is a race track like no other. It is famous for its high banks and for being a half mile around. That might not mean anything to you but these few facts about the track mean one thing.
 This track is fast!!

 We have been to Belleville before as spectators and it is a family favorite, We love Belleville!!  

But this time it was different Luke was joining the ranks of the drivers braving this intimidating track.
 I was nervous!! I was antsy!!  I was a wreck!!

 But I knew that I had to put my worries in Gods hands and let him race, because this was BELLVILLE.

 

His Great Grandpa was a well respected racer on the track at Lakeside and is known among the vintage car enthusiasts that make the trip to Belleville for this exact race. This was a moment of Lucero Family history being made and I wasn't going to stand in the way. 

This was a dream of Luke's to be on the track at this infamous race track. After I relaxed (and prayed a million time) I realized I was watching as a dream came to life! It was magical!

This place is magical!!

 

There is also a part of Belleville that showed its magic to two rambunctious racing kids, The Fair!

 

 

 

Normally we wait in the pits for the races to start. This can be very boring for adventurous little boys. So this time we where able to ride rides, get our faces painted, and enjoy yummy snow cones.

It was the best way to spend the afternoon waiting. The boys loved it and I was distracted!

 

 

Belleville is a scary track as a racers wife, but I realized that night that the blessings of this racing life are larger then the worries in my head. That night I saw magic in the eyes of my children as well as the eyes of my husband. A dream long ago planted was fulfilled and I am in awe that I was able to witness it.
