- Hats waaaaaaaay off to the Stewart-Haas Racing organization who turned this into a “TEAM AND FAMILY WEEKEND” by bringing 19 shop and team employees, and their families, to the ChumpCar event. 15 team members are driving this weekend in their 3-car team entry. Great to see kids enjoying the races!

Almost forgot… classic moment…
Last night, about 8:00pm, just as tech and registration were closing, Erik (Operations Manager) and Dave (Asst. Tech Director) were sitting at the registration table packing up and shuffling through completed tech forms. It’s been a loooooooong day and we’re all feeling the heat after working 14 hours. The trailer work lights (three 500W lights) are blazing away, illuminating the area. Just beyond the lights is this sea of blackness that envelopes the paddock. This one chumps walks up, out of the darkness, to the tech table and asks, “Is there where I get my gear checked?” Without looking up, Erik replies, “Yeah… who are you and what team are you on?”
The reply, “I’m Tony Stewart.”
Erik looks up… smiles and says, “How cool is that?”
True story.
