JEFFERSON, GA (February 22, 2011)– Comedian, Ron White, and Sprint Cup driver, Kurt Busch, made a visit to Gresham Motorsports Park today. Both, the weather and the surprise guest made for an entertaining day at GMP.
White pulled up in his customized, 1956 Corvette and moved over to the passenger’s seat to let close friend, Busch, take the wheel and make laps around the track. Busch wasn’t satisfied with just taking the car around the track; he had to test out the front straight away, and White’s nerves, by spinning donuts down the front stretch.
After winning the Budweiser Shootout, one of the Gatorade Duel qualifying races and finishing 5th in the Daytona 500, Busch returned to GMP to make laps on the half-mile track and make adjustments to his car.
“We always like to learn new things and new ways we can improve and Gresham Motorsports Park is the prime place to learn at,” said Busch, driver of the No. 22 Shell- Pennzoil Dodge Charger. Fans will no longer be able to associate Busch with the No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge, but it won’t be hard to spot him in the pack, now. Busch is excited about running the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Dodge Charger for the 2011 season.
“We have a positive outlook for 2011 and we are glad to have the No. 22 and Shell- Pennzoil on the car this season- it’s going to be an exciting year for us,” said Busch. White and Busch only had positive things to say about Gresham Motorsports Park and we hope to see both of them again at GMP in the 2011 race season.
