Tommy Baldwin Racing gives small businesses the chance to get involved with NASCAR

Have you ever dreamed of seeing your businesses name appear on a NASCAR Sprint Cup car? Now is your chance! Tommy Baldwin Racing announces a unique and rewarding opportunity to help small businesses gain national attention. This is a fantastic way to promote your business on a very well respected, up and coming race team. Check out their press release below.

Mooresville, N.C. (March 5, 2009) – With the recession affecting many Americans and small businesses throughout the United States, Tommy Baldwin Racing has developed a creative way where small businesses and Americans can show their support for one another.

For a nominal fee of $8,000, small businesses throughout the United States will get the opportunity to place their company logo on the c-post of the No. 36 Red Bank Outfitters Toyota. Along with the sponsorship, the company will receive two VIP credentials that will grant them access into the NASCAR Sprint Cup garage and pit road during practice and the race.

Additionally, a link from their website will give businesses the chance to place coupons on the website that offer struggling Americans discounts on services, goods and other common needs. The monetary values of the coupons are intended to steer consumers to participating small businesses that provide quality merchandise and services to hard-working Americans.

“This program shows how small business can support one another during some tough economic times,” said Baldwin, owner of Tommy Baldwin Racing. “With a small investment these businesses can show their support of TBR and give Americans some relief with discounts on services and merchandise while driving traffic to their businesses.”

To become part of this program, or for more information, contact Everest Marketing Group at (704) 688-0765.

Sponsors like Red Bank Outfitters gives hope to bad economy, sponsorship woes

From the Red Bank site, image by TDSwraps.com

Red Bank Outfitters remained a sponsor for the #36 Tommy Baldwin Racing car driven by Scott Riggs through the Vegas race, and they look to be on board for Atlanta. This is just another great story given this stupid economy that there are people and businesses that can come together and produce some positive results. Scott Riggs and the #36 Toyota is currently 41st in the 2009 Sprint Cup point standings.

According their website, Red Bank offers many opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast, including KOSC, Kids Outdoor Sports Camp which will be held this summer.

We applaud Red Bank for their sponsorship! Businesses like these who have stepped up to the plate with sponsorship dollars during these difficult times should be supported wholeheartedly. Sure you can drink your Coke and fill your car with Sunoco while talking on your Sprint phone but its the mom and pop businesses like Red Bank who do the right thing and should be rewarded by the support of the NASCAR fanbase. They need to see the direct benefit of being a sponsor, and the benefits of branding their business with this sport. We hope you as the reader and the NASCAR nation as a whole does their part by supporting them!

Is it really over???

So, WOW~ is this really the end of Speedweeks in Daytona? It seems like the girls and I were just celebrating Martin Truex Jr's pole win, one week ago, then all of a sudden...kapow! It is race day! Where did the time go? Today seemed to have flown by quicker then Maverick and Goose could sing Righteous Brothers songs, drinking cheap beer and whiskey!!

Speaking of ol Maverick.....yeah, we met him. Tom Cruise was the Grand Marshall of the race today and we had one of the right place at the right time moments and got to meet him. We were all equally impressed with how friendly he was. Imagine this, Megan (Miss shy, scardy cat) actually said to him "Hey Tom, I like your glasses". You can see why, since we were all "ROCKIN" the RAYBAN AVIATORS....she made the Maverick giggle.

So, moving on...still spinning from our Tom Cruise encounter, we realized we actually have a race today! Darlynn got to meet her idol, AJ Foyt, YAY! Uncle Pete will be so proud!!! Could this day get any better??? Yes it does! Megan looked up and was in inches of Tim Tebow. The shyness took over as she got cold feet but she still got to see him face to face.

The race was getting ready to start and it looked like the rain was not going to be an issue. We rushed down to pit road and met up with our friends, the #1 crew. Now we are underway, standing with the pole sitter, listening to the National Anthem, watching the flyby, seeing more Tom Cruise TMZ shots, etc. It's about time.....Lets Go Racin Boys!!!!!!!!

We were sitting in the #1 Bass Pro Shops pit when the race started. We were ecstatic that our boys lead lap number one of the 2009 Nascar Season!! Martin Truex Jr's pit box was a few spots away from our other favorite crew chief, Tommy Baldwin, the new proud owner of Tommy Baldwin Racing!! We are extremely excited for what the 09 Season is going to bring to them.

Now here comes the "this only happens to us" story of the night. As we were saying our goodbyes in the Driver/Owner lot, contemplating our escape route. We look out side and see TomKat and Suri getting ready to leave. It was suggested that we attach to the back of their police escort/motorcade. Ally is convinced at this point, Megan is 110% going to jail for what you see below. Yes, that is us following Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Suri out of the track, driving on the track, going 60 mph, in the opposite direction. We were hysterically laughing and Megs said she felt like she was Cole Trickle, following Cole Trickle...the irony here, really???

Goodnight and goodbye Speedweeks 2009. Our livers almost didn't make it...

We'll be on the couch next week for California, still in recovery mode - but, we are SOOOOO HAPPY that the 2009 Nascar Season has started!! Thanks to all our new friends on Twitter. We love it and hope you will continue to follow us.

Tommy Baldwin Racing makes the show!

Tommy Baldwin Racing and the #36 Toyota driven by Scott Riggs WILL be in the 51st running of the Daytona 500!!! This is exciting news to us, as Tommy is one of the nicest guys in the sport and well loved and respected by all in the garage!

We are very proud of his new endeavor, and Congratulations to him and his team!!

The first dual was a nail biter, Martin Truex's spin in the second half of the race had us also spinning as we were in his pit box when that happend! While listening to his scanner, there was no major damage to the car, but Bono feared the splitter could be damaged...Martin said he didn't feel too much vibration while he was out there alone, so we had a sigh of releif!

The Fashionistas are in the fanzone, getting ready for the 2nd dual. We are pulling for Regan Smith to race his way in! This is the exciting part of Race Weeks, seeing who is going to make the show!!

More updates to come!

We would also like to send a Thank You! To all of our new followers! We hope you are enjoying our updates, live from Daytona!!

24 and this is in no way a reference to Jeff Gordon

Just 24 short days till we go back into full swing with the Greatest American Race The Daytona 500. For fear that you,like us will be a little overwhelmed with the massive of name/car/team/mascot....you name it.. changes since Homestead-the Gods at Jayski has simplified it here. I got as far as #5 before I screwed it up so I do implore you to print this out and start studying. We have a lot of work to do!
In other news, it is pretty awesome to see our friend for who we will not name who is allegedly from Long Island, who could possibly own a new race team that we are not blogging about...well its nice to see his name in print :) And this definitely does not remind us about him...Good Luck to Jaeger Bombs and all our peeps in new positions/cars/teams/mascot uniforms, etc.

Tommy Baldwin Racing!?

According to Jayski.com and a few friends, I found out tonight that Tommy Baldwin, a great friend of ours, is starting a Sprint Cup team and is aggressively shooting towards running in 51st annual Daytona 500. Wow, that will be one party that we will sure be attending. We are already trying to prep our livers for those 2 weeks, god help us all!!!!

Tommy's team, Tommy Baldwin Racing, is planning on competing full time in the Sprint Cup. He has 12 years of experience in the Cup, not to mention he is a winning Daytona 500 Crew Chief. You can read all of it here on jayskis site. I couldn't be happier to write this blog. Honestly, I was online to find information on the new Reality series, Nascar Wives when I decided I am way too cranky to speak of that show right now. Of course Tommy takes precedence over a silly reality show. So many congrats to you Tommy!! You know you already have a few cheerleaders on your side!!!!
