Pictures Of The Atlanta Tony Stewart Event

Posted by Amy in General | NASCAR - (0 Comments)

A week ago yesterday Tony Stewart was in an Office Depot in Roswell, GA to do not just a fan appearance, but he was there to cut the ribbon on their recently remodeled store as well as there on behalf of the Office Depot Foundation to donate even more sackpacks filled with essential school supplies to local area children! So it was a WIN WIN WIN! I wanted to share some pictures from the event:

Be a Hero and Wave Your NASCAR PRIDE This September

Posted by Misty in General | NASCAR - (1 Comments)

Misty wrote this piece about her annual involvement in the NASCAR blood drive at Las Vegas Motor Speedway…it ranat the end of August but I just wanted to republish it as timely this week as well as let you know that many tracks will be doing blood drives this week:  including Daytona International Speedway, Michigan International Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Infineon Raceway, Martinsville Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway, Texas Motor Speedway, Dover International Speedway, Pocono Raceway, Richmond International Raceway and Darlington Speedway are hosting annual blood drives.

One of the things I admire and respect about NASCAR is the emphasis it gives on encouraging fans to give back. There are numerous ways fans can do this: buy a NASCAR day pin, a NASCAR Unites bracelet, participate in a track walk, donate time or money; but one of my favorite events is the annual blood drive hosted by many tracks. I am lucky to live in Las Vegas and be able to easily participate in the event hosted by the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Posted by Amy in Contests | NASCAR - (1 Comments)

Attention Tony Stewart Fans planning on being in Virginia on September 8th. Tony Stewart will be doing an autograph appearance at the Office Depot located in Midlothian Virginia THIS August 8th at 4:30 PM!  The address for this event is: 1230 Huguenot Road, Midlothian, VA.

You must have a wristband to get an autograph.  400 wristbands will be given out at the location starting at 8:00 am local time on September 8th.  One autograph per wristband, one wristband per person.

As always I strongly suggest getting there early- the wristbands can go quickly at some of these events. These events are always great fun. And remember if you go to remind Tony to #KeepDiggingTony! Have fun for me!

Race 25: WhooHoo on a Tuesday (The Atlanta Race)

Posted by Amy in General | NASCAR - (4 Comments)

I haven’t even watched the Atlanta race yet (thank goodness for DVRs apparently I won’t be watching it because my DVR decided to ignore my command to record the race this morning. Bad DVR- No biscuit) but as I told Misty on the phone earlier…never in my life has a 3rd place finish put me in such a good mood as Tony’s finish today in Atlanta!

Because it’s the first day back to the grind after a three-day weekend, my morning at work was kind of crazy busy. Add into the mix the fact that I forgot to charge my phone last night so I knew I didn’t have enough battery to use the Sprint Cup Mobil ap to listen. And my evil computer at work is 6 years old and slowly dying so multitasking right now is not it’s strong suit. Really the only thing I did during the race is during lulls at work there were times I could coax my dying computer to bring up NASCAR.COM’s leaderboard. The first several times I peeked Tony was somewhere in the top 10. Yey Tony. Then I peeked and he was somewhere in the teens and the race was red flagged. Then I peeked again and he was 25th.

My Favorites and A Contest!

Posted by Amy in Contests | General | NASCAR - (7 Comments)

Truth be told, I have a relatively small Tony Stewart collection  Just a couple of shelves crowded with stuff and another shelf in my office at work- plus a full-size Standee of Tony that stands in my office at work (because my poor dog was scared of the standee). That’s it.

That’s not t say that I don’t have some favorite items in that collection. I have two favorites…where if the house was burning down I would try to save first (after family and Roxy of course).  It’s funny because both of them are favorites of mine more because of the story involved in them then the actual item itself.
