NASCAR @ PIR 2010

Getting ready for an exciting weekend at Phoenix International Raceway (PIR) for the Nationwide Series this weekend.  It is WypAll 200, 200 laps for 200 miles!

The day will begin at the Nationwide Corporate Village.  A "Chalet" tent outside the track area with food, beverage & gifts for all guests!  Maybe even a pit pass to enter the garage and see what goes on under the hood of these spectacular autos. 

A great vantage point to watch the race with my fellow Nationwide workers and even some from Columbus, Ohio, the home office of Nationwide.  An opportunity to rub elbows with the top brass and make new contacts.

Yesterday, our On Your Side Center kicked off the NASCAR Celebration in Phoenix, with an event featuring the Nationwide Show Car.  It comes with a simulator so you can race your car to victory lane.  Well, maybe with a crash or two along the way!  Believe me 120 mph is fast, even in a simulator!

So, I'm looking forward to a fast paced, exhilarating weekend at the Phoenix International Raceway.  Hold onto your hat and don't forget the earplugs!
