Checkin' Out Lowe's Motor Speedway

Craig, Roby and I went over to Lowe's Motor Speedway today - you know, the track where we are the official motorcycle parking area? Yea, that track. One of my very favorite places EVER!

I'll blog more after the All-Star Race tomorrow, but here are a couple of photos.....

The guys checking out the special All-Star car showcased in front of the Speedway's offices

Our sister company, Club Car, hooked us up with one of their cool, brand new vehicles. The guys LOVE this! I'm sure there will be stories about them driving this around...

Yes, this is a Kryptonite banner in the infield of Lowe's Motor Speedway!!! This gate was open today, but is going to be closed tomorrow so the banner will stand out a lot better. There are a ton outside the track, too! And stickers everywhere. The track did a great, great job for us.

More photos later in the weekend, but if you are coming out to Lowe's Motor Speedway for the All-Star Race, please come by the Kryptonite tent - we are right in the front of the track - near the Toyota demonstration and next to the Crocs tent. You can't miss us. We look forward to meeting you all!

Go Hendrick Motorsports!

Dale Earnhardt, Jr's new ride

I was in North Carolina yesterday for a meeting. It wasn't too far from Hendrick Motorsports so I took the opportunity to take a quick run to their complex. I hear they have a "new kid" racing for them and I wanted to get a look at his car up close. (ok, seriously, do you really think I could be that close to HMS and not stop by??)

What do you think? Kinda stands out, doesn't it?

Maybe you've seen it on the track. I think the "new kid" might just turn out ok for the Hendrick bunch. What do you think?

Look what just arrived....

Yes, that's the brand new Dale Earnhardt, Jr./Hendrick Motorsports Chevy Impala. Yes, that's a replica of the car that won on Saturday night in the Bud Shootout. It's so new, in fact, that I'm almost afraid to touch it and smudge the paint because I can smell the new paint on it! Yes, I went online and ordered it Saturday night after the win. This will be a classic one day, but for right now it's comfy sittin' here on my tire.

So my prediction for the big race on Sunday? Junior will be second by a nose....to his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Jeff Gordon. Of course!
