Winners See Drama of First Race in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Chase for the Championship as the 3M “Your Ticket to the Track” Sweepstakes Takes Them to Chicagoland Speedway
ST. PAUL, Minn. (September 19, 2012) – For Glenn Lirette, his love of NASCAR® went into high gear on Sunday when he had a chance to see his racing heroes up close and personal at Chicagoland Speedway – thanks to the 3M Automotive Aftermarket “Your Ticket to the Track” Sweepstakes.
Lirette, shop manager for Trapp Cadillac Chevrolet in Houma, La., was joined by shop painter Kerry Cunningham, along with representatives from his local distributor Sherwin Williams. The group toured the garage and pit road, visited with the No. 16 3M Ford Fusion pit crew and met the No. 16 driver, Greg Biffle. They attended a Q&A session with Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Danica Patrick. Lirette also had the opportunity to attend the pre-race drivers’ meeting.
