May 5th, 2001 a group of 13 Grand Prix's from the VA, OH and MACGP clubs were guests of Pontiac at the Pontiac Excitement 400. We had access to the Pontiac Hospitality area which provided food, drink and shelter from the heat. We were visited by all the Pontiac drivers and had a great question and answer session. We were able to tour the pits and get our picture taken as a group in the Interstate Batteries pit just hours before race time. The best part was the pre-race parade laps in front of a packed house. As we each crossed the start/finish line, they announced who we were and where we were from. All this was culimated by a great race won by a Pontiac, driven by Tony Stewart! |
