FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Boogertown, North Carolina)
In a move a long time coming, 52 Pickup Racing is pleased to announce that they are finally allowing race shop tours for NASCAR fans.
“One of the big draws to our sport is how close the fans can get to the teams”, said Russ Bauers, one of the fifty-two co-owners of 52 Pickup Racing. “And we’re proud to finally offer that to fans of our race team.”
“Oh, its a great opportunity for the fans”, said Ben “Moose” Milacki, the team’s hauler driver and tour leader. “I mean, seeing those huge shops in Concord and Mooresville, its really something.”
Fans can come Monday through Thursday at 9am for the tours to begin.
“We get moving around 9:15ish”, Milacki said. “I take them in my old Club Wagon van—its a little worn down but its still got a great sound system. We go past all the big time race shops—Hendrick, Gibbs, Stewart-Haas. Its really something to show fans how the sport operates…at least at the highest level.”
Fans are encouraged to bring a light lunch with them on the tours, as well as to use the bathroom before arriving in the 52 Pickup Racing race shop parking lot, as fans are still not allowed inside due to a town licensing dispute that has yet to be resolved.
QUOTES: “Wait—we’re not letting fans in here, are we? We still haven’t gotten all the insulation put in, the ceiling leaks on rainy days, and nobody can figure out where that smell’s coming from.” —T.B. Dee, driver of the 52 Pickup Racing Monday Cigarettes race car.
“I go on the tours sometimes. Just gazing out at a mega-shop like Team Penske and wondering how that could’ve been me, if only about nine hundred things in my life had gone differently.” —Russ Bauers, co-owner of 52 Pickup Racing.
