Hi Gang
Here is one reason I havent been around much, from the thursday before the Budweiser Shootout till the day of the 500, I was at DIS promoting our car show. Heres a shot of where I got to "park" (ok actually we used my wagon as one of the promo cars) during Speedweeks. :p

Our display was just behind the Chevy display outside of turn 4. On Saturday (Busch, I mean Nationwide race day) Bobby Allison signed my glovebox door.

I didnt spend alot of time in the garage area, due to my "job", but did get to see alot of old friends. Speed used the wagon in some "infield shots" on the "off days", snd Rutledge from Speed stopped by and we chatted about an hour after seein the wagon. He had just bought one and wanted to know "where to buy this and how to build that" to make his wagon less "grandfatherly" as he put it. Riki Racthman also stopped by, along with Marvin Panch, Ray Fox, Mikey & Darrell Waltrip, Rick Hendrick, some kid named "Jr" :), "Happy" Harvick, Ryan Newman, Jeff Hammond, Jimmy Spencer, Richard Childress, Kenny "Herman" Wallace and even ol' Smoke wandered by, just to name a few. This was the first Daytona 500 in many (10+) years that the frontstretch grandstands were actually full! For once, NASCAR actually DID sell every seat, and have someone in it!
