Here’s part two of our bonus story about the photo shoot for the 2001 Budweiser Shootout poster. After the smoke used for effect prompted a false alarm, Junior posed with the firefighters and later signed copies of the photo for each of them. This is a photo that has never been seen publicly.
The promotional poster for the 2001 Budweiser Shootout, as described in chapter 4 of IN THE RED, caused a bit of a stir when being photographed. It seems the smoke used in the background caused a fire alarm. The local fire dept. was not too pleased to have been called for such an alarm until Dale Jr. agreed to have his photo taken with all of the firemen.
It has been a busy week, but I’m thrilled to announce I have accepted a new role as Director of Corporate Communication for Andretti Autosport in Indianapolis. It’s a great opportunity to work with a legendary family and a superb team. Andretti Autosport will feature three IndyCar teams this season, with drivers Marco Andretti, James Hinchliffe and Ryan Hunter-Reay. The team also has a fine driver development program that features many young stars of tomorrow.
