I work in an Insurance office so there is just me and the agent I work for. He doesn't watch any kind of racing, but our office is in Bloomington so I can talk racing with a lot of our insureds some of them even help some local drivers in the pits! When we go to Bloomington Speedway (every Fri night during race season) We sit with most of the guys my fiance works with. So he has a good group of guys to talk to at work about sprint cars!

I'm lucky I suppose. I work for car owner Mike Sala, who owns Sprint Cars and Midgets, so I'm able to keep up to date on what's going on out there and see things from a car owners perspective.

We took a co-worker to the races and this kid is hooked. He's a very bright kid....

We purchased 4 season passes to the track we planned on racing at in '08. We split the tickets over the year between sponsors, co-workers, and people we knew who had never been to and/or did not know what a sprint car was other than "oh, those things that flip."

At seasons end, we had over 20 people in the stands who had never seen a sprint car race, and returned on their own at some point later in the year. We gained a sponsor with one of them, but more importantly - we(sprint car racing) gained a bunch of new fans who got to go out and tell others "you have to see it to believe it."

Now my co-workers know the #19 on the back of my truck isn't for Elliot Sadler.
