What
do Cindy McCain, wife of Republican presidential nominee Sen. John
McCain, five-time Olympic gold medal swimmer Aaron Peirsol, and
Carolina Nationals winner Steve Johnson have in common?
Answer: aThe NASCAR Bank of America 500 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway
drivers' meeting. That's right, all three were introduced last Sunday
at the drivers' meeting prior to the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Lowe's
Motor Speedway.
Johnson, who won the inaugural Carolinas Nationals last month at zMAX
Dragway at Concord, was their guest to spend his off-weekend at Lowe's
Motor Speedway and take in a NASCAR Chase for the Championship event.
It was a thrill for the motorcycle racer, who's always been a NASCAR
fan, but it also provided him with the opportunity to mingle in the
suites, fly in the Army’s sky diving simulator and build relationships
that could prove beneficial to his race team and POWERade drag racing.
