Since we were going to be in the western part of NC for the Taylor Swift concert, Karl very happily decided to go visit a couple of NASCAR shops. Both of the shops are associated with his favorite driver, Kevin Harvick. NASCAR teams have shops where they are working on everything from cars that will race in future races to tweaking pit strategies.
First stop was the shop owned by Harvick in Kennersville. This shop houses all the cars that Harvick ‘owns’. The car he races however is owned by someone else, confusing I know.
Here is the view of all the garages at Kevin Harvick, Inc.
Love this picture of Harvick as a little boy racind and the tiny jacket.
Observation tower: Reese was throwing one of her 2 year old type tantrums until we walked up here, she LOVED it. After we left, she asked to go back up to watch again; of course, Karl obliged.
The girls posing by one of the trophies Harvick won a couple of months ago. Yes, NASCAR does give some weird trophies.
Next stop, RCR museum in Welcome, NC. RCR stands for Richard Childress racing, may mean nothing to the average person, right. He is the owner of the car Harvick drives. But this is the same person that Dale Earnhardt drove for. So the museum has all the cars and trophies from his racing career.
Brady stood on the rail at every car, pointed at it and told us to take a picture of her.
This is the car from Kevin Harvick’s biggest win, Daytona 500! I like how there is still confetti all over it.
Here is Reese by her namesake. Yes, she was named after the sponsor of a NASCAR vehicle. This is how obsessed Karl is with NASCAR.
Karl really enjoyed this tour with his girls and their excitement starting to peak about the sport.
I like the shirt I got at the shops. it says “I wear the firesuit in this family”
