Next weekend’s activities include a tour of the Dragway construction site, where the track and state-of-the-art control tower are quickly taking shape. Force, Neff, Coughlin, Smith and Pro Stock Motorcycle rider Angie McBride will wear logoed hard hats that will be autographed and donated to Speedway Children’s Charities, the philanthropy outreach founded by track owner Bruton Smith, for auction.
Neff’s Old Spice Ford Mustang will take center stage, literally, when he fires up his car at Lowe’s Motor Speedway before the Coca-Cola 600 begins with the help of JFR crew chiefs John Medlen and Dean “Guido” Antonelli.
Also scheduled to be on-hand for special events, autograph sessions and fan meet-and-greets, are Antron Brown, Cruz Pedregon, Doug Herbert and Hillary Will. A replica of Herbert’s SnaponFranchise.com Top Fuel dragster will be on display in Lowe’s Motor Speedway’s Speed Street fan area and a booth promoting Herbert’s BRAKES (Be Responsible and Keep Everyone Safe) drive-safe program will be on site as well.
