Personal Crisis in Western NC: HELP!!!

Ok so here's what I pulled from map quest...

From my location in Icard to the Martinsville Speedway is 2 hours and 18 minutes. Fuel cost with my dad's poorly tuned silverado are estimated at $22.11 with a guestimated fuel economy of 15 city 20 highway.

So, a 5 hour round trip and like $50 in gas...

I'm gonna call my girlfriend when I go to bed here soon and see if she might have any extra money.
