Barre, VT – Following last week’s pre-season tire buy at Barre’s Thunder Road, Officials got a good look at what’s to come this summer at the Nation’s Site of Excitement. Over fifty different drivers attended Monday’s tire buy, making final preparations to their mounts after a long winter’s rest with a dry spring making for a great start on the groundwork for Officials at the track!

Rookies and veterans alike made the Monday afternoon trip to measure and chose the tires that most closely match their notebook from last year. Maplefields/Irving Late Model freshman Trevor Jaques and Kyle Streeter, Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tiger first-timers Cam Powers and Brodie Frazier and rk Miles Street Stock rookies Jason Kirby, TJ Haggett, Jaiden Del Toro, Tyler Wheatley and Keegan Tabor were among those leaning on veterans like Tommy ‘Thunder’ Smith, Shawn Fleury, Brian Hoar and Mike Billado, among others, for whatever nuggets of wisdom they could pick up.

NASCAR Cup Stars Take In The Sights And Sounds Of Mexico City

NASCAR Cup Stars Take In The Sights And Sounds Of Mexico City

By Holly Cain, NASCAR Wire Service

MEXICO CITY — This is not the pina colada Cancun of your cruise ships, but a vibrant, sprawling, city center full of busy international vibes; welcoming and interesting. Smiling friendly people with places to be.

Beautiful snow-covered mountain peaks loom over Mexico City. Small, colorful taco stands decorate every corner, busy with lunch regulars. The sidewalks are filled with people and the traffic lanes are filled with mopeds and cars, door-to-door, bumper-to-bumper. Car horns and dog barks fill the air. It is a full sensory experience.

And the first big billboard rising out of the Mexico City airport? It advertises Chevrolets.
