This Sunday is the NASCAR All Star races in North
Carolina.
Madison, Allworth is there for us.
All right, Madison, you took a ride on the track.
What was it like, Stewart?
It was thrilling.
It was also absolutely terrifying.
I'll let the video speak for itself.
OK, so yeah, sorry if I blew out any eardrums.
Next to me is the driver, Lane Riggs.
He's a Truck Series driver.
He competed in his first race when he was just
four years old.
His dad also drove for NASCAR.
So I got to ask him what it's like to
follow in his footsteps or his tire tracks.
See what I did there?
You grew up with racing, right?
Like your dad was a racer, So how does it
feel to be back on such an iconic track and
to be racing yourself?
Yeah, he never got to really race here back in
the day.
It was closed down during that era.
So in this place, it's basically become a brand new
racetrack after they've redone it.
So yeah, I've raced here twice now.
It's one of my favorite places, has a lot of
character.
And take a look at what he's talking about.
This track actually predates the sport of NASCAR itself.
But for 30 years, it laid dormant and empty.
But the local fans, they never forgot about it and
brought it back to life in 2022.
And now we are here.
It looks like a brand new facility for the third
annual All Star race.
And this is a race that's loved by locals because
this is NASCAR country and local businesses also love it.
Seth Cohen, he owns restaurants and breweries in town and
he was actually able to open up a additional location
this year because of all the business that NASCAR brought
in And I have with me.
Now his special beer he's going to be cheering on
this weekend and providing some great brews.
This is the last lap logger.
You can see it matches the color of of the
Speedway perfectly.
And Sue, I'd bring it back for you, but I
followed the Stewart travel rule, which is only one carry
on allowed.
So obviously this is over the liquid limit.
So I'm just going to have to enjoy it here,
but I'll enjoy it in your honour, Stewart.
Thank you very much.
Indeed.
The rules are take the first flight out, never check
baggage and make sure you get a direct flight and
that's it.
Have a great time, Madison.
We'll see you when you come back.
