So Travis entered to a win a 2 day stay in Charlotte NC to meet Michael Waltrip (who is retired) and Martin Truex Jr (who races now--the car behind us) and get a chance to drive a NASCAR. It was actually through NAPA, which their shop is a NAPA auto care center. We don't know a thing about NASCAR, but now we do and it is very interesting and pretty amazing. The first day we went to the Michael Waltrip Compound which is a museum with a shop in the back. Travis walked around in awe. It was pretty cool.
They gave us a chance, after we watched the pit crew change all 4 tires and fill up the gas tank in 12 seconds, to try ourselves. Here is Travis trying to push the car up with a jack. It was pretty funny.
He also changed a tire in 15 seconds! :)
This is our favorite guy of the pit crew. He manned the gas tank. He was so informative and kept explaining everything to Travis. He even filled some of the tank up to let Travis try.
Standing outside their transporting semi-truck. The cars go on top of all the gear and carts. In the front is a huge sofa, tvs and computers.
In the shop. Behind it is where we ate dinner with the famous guys and the pit crew. We are anxious to watch a race now and watch the pit crew in action! They were so awesome!!
