MotornTV.com Official Blog: Pennzoil did have the "Best Seats in the House"

The day began checking to the credential department at the Kansas Speedway at a little before 6:00 am Sunday morning. I didn't know how much a problem this was going to be but it turn out to be as smooth as silk. The people were very helpful and took very good care of use for being that early in the morning.

Next we enter the track by thought the tunnel under the track where you enter into a city of RV of all kinds. Because we well early birds parking was open right in front of the garage area where we had to meet Judy Dominick of Team Chevy. We had a couple of hour to kill so we walk around the garage area that opens to the crews and press at 7:oo am and talk with some of the team members and Goodyear where we found out everything you would want to know about tire that NASCAR uses

At 9:oo am we contacted Judy and meet her at the Shell/Pennzoil hauler of Kevin Harvick Chevrolet Impala Car 29. You can believe these hauler but more of that later. Judy is great representative for TEAM CHEVROLET and NASCAR. She is very passionate about the entire sport and the people involved with it. She began by giving some back ground about the Shell/Pennzoil team then we had tour of the entire garage area from fuel area to the inspecting to car before the race. After the tour of garage we when out on the track to the Pit Box of Kevin Harvicks. These Pit boxes are unbelievable. They have everything need for the car and team there in them. Plus the on top of Pit Boxes is where the the Crew Chief Todd Berrier sit and control the whole race from. From there we walk down pit lane and saw all of the other teams pit area. We when back into the garage area and then over to the media center where they provide us with lunch. Media Center was very busy area with all the media from around the country base out of this area. After lunch we meet up with Judy again and she gave us a tour of Kevin Harvick Custom car hauler. These are a traveling garage with everything the car and team needs to complete at each track. Judy also expand that after each race the hauler go back to shop unload the cars and parts the last race and pick-up a new cars and parts for the next race. These also have complete offices so the team can communicate with anyone around the world. From the hauler we when back out to Kevin Harvick Pit Box were we meet Todd Berrier the Crew Chief for the Shell/Pennzoil Chevrolet car 29 and invited us up to where we had the "Best seat in the House".

These seats were right behind where Todd runs the whole race from. You are less than a few feet from the pit wall where all the action is during the pit stops. To watch these guys in perform these pit stop in the time it take, TV will never be able to give the real filling and speed that these professional are working at or how close that each team and there pit area are. Almost every stop that Kevin Harvick had Kurt Busch pitting in front of him with only inches between them when he exited his pit area. From these seat you are able to watch the entire race, which was pretty awesome.

This was a great with no Major crashes. Kevin started 36th but had a great finish with 6th place. All in all it was a NASCAR Fan Dream day. If you ever get the chance to be involved with the "Best Seat in the House" you want to take advantage of this.

Again I would like to thank everyone involved, first for Kansas Speedway and staff for putting on a great show, Chevrolet and there representative Judy Dominick for unbelievable tour of the track area, Shell/Pennzoil for let be apart of the race action in the pit area and Blair Hefty of Coyne PR originally contact about be
