It was a fairly pleasant late-April Friday night in the city of Zootopia, & many citizens were going about their Friday Night routines, like family movie nights, or arriving at work for the night shift. All citizens, in fact, except for Nick Wilde, & Judy Hopps, who were packing their bags for the 2019 Geico 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Monday was going to be a day off for them since there were scattered showers & thunderstorms expected in Birmingham Sunday evening and night. Clawhauser was also on vacation, and was planning to come with Nick & Judy themselves. Chief Bogo was away for the next 4 days on a trip to St. Louis, Missouri and Destin, Florida.
Judy also remembered that last November, on her birthday, the 23rd, Judy received a package in the mail from her familiy's business partner Gideon, which contained a handmade birthday card that Gideon made himself, an extremely rare, 2009 Elliott Snarldler Best Bison gift card in the form of a diecast which looked identical to the car that was at talladega in spring 2009, and 2 of his 4 front row Tickets to the spring race at Talladega Superspeedway that he bought last May. He was sharing the last of the other 3 with Ben.
"I think I'll need to take my 2009 Jimmie Johnson Kobalt diecast to the race with me." Nick said, "I want to get it autographed anyway Carrots." "That would be a great Idea." Judy said, "Besides Slick, it'd be great to have an autograph from a cup series race car driver. Especially a 7-time Cup series Champion." "Good point Carrots." Nick said. "I would think that would be a great plan." Nick wagged his tail while he spoke. "I agree." Judy replied "Autographs are a great way to remember a race." Nick & Judy immediately burst out with laughter because they thought it was hilarious. Their laughter drowned out the sound Bucky and Pronk's yelling.
10 minutes later, Nick and Judy were trying to catch their breath after being unable to control their laughter for a while. "You're quite the comedian Carrots." Nick said with an exhausted grin. "I can tell it because you crack me up." "I love how you wagged your tail." Judy chuckled. "Prehaps we should finish packing. Being packed for a big trip the night before we leave is a great idea." A few hours later, Nick and Judy were done packing. "Now that we're packed, we should get ready to go to sleep." Nick said. "We have a big road trip tomorrow."
