    Must be an organized IRL promotion since he was subject of an article in the USA Today Sports section (which had no major NASCAR story).

    VIP treatment includes:

    Flight to Indy on Saturday
    Ride IN the parade
    Police escort to the track on Sunday
    Ride around the track and announcement during pre-race celebration
    Watch the race from VIP suite (I'm assuming that's in the Pagoda?)

    Pretty sweet. Wonder if renewing vows counts?

    this is the first time that ive felt the IRL "knocked one out of the park" in terms of promo. when i heard other companies kicking in trips for the marriage thing, i wondered why the IRL didnt do something like that. such a great idea.

    and mike and mike (who im a devout listener of) were really nice. they are very Indy 500 friendly actually, always listing it as one of the sports events you have to attend before you die, etc. i think they did the two seater a couple of years ago, or at least greeny did. LOL.

    So that makes FOUR media appearances today, and there are still two weeks to Homestead! Sounds like someone actually gets it. Now just keep it up!

    Wheldon, shoe collection and all looks like a manly man compared to Greenberg
    But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security

    I thought it was interesting when Dan said that he respected the NASCAR guys because of their devisity and mentioned Tony Stewart by name. It may have been Cold Pizza or Mike & Mike (he was on both). I agree that Tony would race anything like AJ and Mario in their prime. However, the NASCAR guys (outside of TS) don't really do anything else, do they?
