Garmin hits the Speedway track

Vroom… Vroom! We just got back from a wonderful race weekend at the Lifelock 400 where we watched our favorite driver, Jeff Green, take home a top-20 finish in the #66 Best Buy/ Garmin Chevrolet! Here’s a handful of pictures for your enjoyment as I attempt to narrate our adventures. Once we arrived at the track, we had the opportunity to meet and greet Jeff himself. While entertaining the sponsors, he also stuck around for Q&A, autograph signing, and in true celebrity style, Jeff posed for dozens of pictures. After our meet and greet, we headed to the pits! After touring the Best Buy hauler, we were able to catch a front seat view of all the pre-race action from pit row.

Now, with a little more race knowledge under our belts, it was almost time for the race. Drivers were able to get 15 laps in before the rain started…and quickly stopped. After the track had time to dry, the drivers made it all the way to lap 210 before the race was shortened 57 laps due to weather and track lighting. After starting from the 37th position, Jeff and team were able to work their way on up to bring home a 20th-place finish. With this finish, Jeff holds the 28th spot in NEXTEL Cup drivers’ point standings, as the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series Chase continues with seven events left.
