Chapter Two-Charlotte-May 23





Chapter Two - Friday, May 23:

We left bright and early to go meet Ashley & Jason so that we could get a good start on our day of visiting Race Shops. We visited Hendricks, Roush Fenway, Penske, Red Bull, Yates, and even ran into Robby Gordon just outside his shop (got his autograph on the run).

With Dale Earnhardt, Jr. now driving for Hendricks, Janine was happy to visit HMS. They've remodeled and we spent a lot of time there this year checking out the place. We didn't see any drivers at Roush, but we made it just in time to the Red Bull Shop to get in line and catch Brian Vickers and AJ Almendinger signing autographs! We stuck around there for awhile (Brian is Ashley favorite Driver) and enjoyed several variations of Red Bull samples that were being passed around. We also went to JR Motorsports so Janine could spend some money on some new Jr. shirts, etc. Later in the evening Cully arrived and after dropping Ashley and Jason off at his families house, we ate some dinner at an Olive Garden.


Saturday, May 24th. We picked up Ashley and had to backtrack a little and repeat a few stops at some Race Shops because Cully missed so much by arriving so late on Friday, so we went to Penske, Yates and Petty Enterprises new Shop on this day before heading to Speed Street and making a pass through Jr's new bar, "Whiskey River". I wasn't impressed that much, but we can say we were there!


Hold on - there is more to come -
