This weekend was MOTORSPORTS PACKED wasn't it! Well NASCAR was in CALIFORNIA so it was a good time to do something with Kyle Busch and his foundation... Here's the event and they even put little ol' me on the flier, SEND IT! NOS Energy Drink put together a Celebrity karting event at K1 SPEED Ontario to benefit the Kyle Busch Foundation...
One of the most anticipated events to hit the Bay Area this
summer was the BLOX Open House in Fremont, California.
NOS Energy Drink was on hand to provide the energy
and entertainment forthe crowd as they checked out over 300 of the Bay Area’s finest import tuner cars. Hundreds of models were featured at the NOS Energy Drink Lounge and Main Stage, where ice cold NOS was distributed to thousands of car enthusiasts throughout the day. For more information on this event, check out BloxRacing.com or TunerPlayground.com
Check out this teaser video from our friends at 360VM:
I went North of the Border for a little Late Model racing last night. Pretty cool to see all the fans come out to Delaware Speedway up in Ontario Canada. Right from the first practice the car was super fast, and I knew we had something for them. We did and picked up the win! Thanks to Steve Robblee for letting me drive his car, and turn it into the #51, and NOS for keeping me fueled up during those long trips. In Chicago now, heading to an appearance, then over to the speedway to get ready for this weekends Nationwide and Cup races. (Photo: Delaware Speedway)
I finally got a chance to get back in the #51 NOS Energy Drink late model car on Wednesday night at Berlin Raceway. It's always good to spend some time with my late model team. The KBM SLM crew brought me a great car, it was fast right off the truck. We ran in the top 3 during both practices on Tuesday and got the pole, but started 3rd after the invert.
The race was broken up into two segments of 125 laps and 126 laps. The first segment we got a bit loose and finished second to Chase Elliott, the break gave the guy's time to adjust on the car, and that really helped.
I had a great time racing with Chase and Ross Kenseth, they were really fast all night. However, in the end the NOS Energy Drink Toyota was too much for them, and we got it to Victory Lane.
In California now for the Cup race, ready to get on track. I look forward to challenging the road course out here in Sonoma, and hopefully picking up another win!
Wednesday night was Tony Stewart's annual charity race, the Prelude to the Dream, it's a great event that I get to take part in each year. This year I was the Team Captain for Team Levine, which is a Children's Hospital in the Charlotte area.
I wish I could have got the NOS Energy Drink car to Victory Lane, it's frustrating not being able to ever close one of those deals out. I felt like, if it went green the whole way, I probably could've won. However, we had different tires and a different setup that wouldn't really go on the short run and that really killed us. But at least I was the captain of the winning team. I'm just really happy that our efforts - especially Jimmie's - helped us to make a donation to Levine Children's Hospital. I want to thank Tony for putting on the race. We all have a lot of fun out there.
Thanks to NOS for all the support, it's time to get to work in Michigan, so I have to get rolling!

Can't thank NOS enough for the support. It’s a testament to this
team and these guys and Jason Ratcliff, the race car he
prepared for me and all the guys at Joe Gibbs Racing – engine, chassis
shop. The NOS Energy Drink Camry was fast and it's good to get them back to Victory Lane.
