Every day we get closer to the highly anticipated kick off to the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Yesterday was another mile marker on the road to Daytona and the green flag.
Charlotte, NC was the site for the 30th annual NASCAR Sprint Media Tour hosted by the Charlotte Motor Speedway, and the first with Quicken Loans as the primary sponsor of Ryan Newman and the #39 car. A small team of QL teammates headed down south, along with more than 230 motorsports journalists from around the world, for the Stewart-Haas Racing portion of the tour.
In a packed banquet hall, it was our first chance to get a good look at Ryan, teammate Danica Patrick, and teammate/team leader Tony Stewart, their respective crew chiefs, and director of competition. They talked about how exciting it was to start out this season, the pressures (or lack thereof) being the reigning Sprint Cup champions, and the excitement of working with new sponsors.
“You need to surround yourself with great sponsors in order to accomplish the great things we want to,” said Newman. “Sponsorship wise, I’ve never been in a better situation.”
After the press conference, our merry band proceeded to the Stewart-Haas Racing headquarters for some interviews and footage. We got some awesome insider info and can’t wait to share it with all QL Racing fans! Keep an eye out for our AMAZING QL Racing website and in the meantime follow QL Racing on Facebook.
Check out these great pictures we took from the day (look at the matte paint job on the car!).
