NASCAR Experience, 2003
 Ladies
and Gentlemen, start your engines!
In September of 2003, Impact XXI sponsored a unique event in Charlotte,
North Carolina: A day of NASCAR racing hosted by Norm
Miller and Joe Gibbs. Norm
Miller is the Chairman of Interstate Batteries, a NASCAR sponsor. Joe
Gibbs is a Super Bowl winning coach and owner of the Joe Gibbs NASCAR
Racing team which features #20 Tony Stewart and #18 Bobby LaBonte, both
former Winston Cup champions.
 Participants
got a personal behind-the-scenes tour of the garage. They met Winston
Cup champion Bobby LaBonte. They also got a chance to drive (or be driven)
around the racetrack in authentic NASCARS at speeds of 145-165 mph.
After that, they had dinner and a chance to hear from top leaders who
described how their faith has had an impact on their personal lives,
how they run their businesses, and what social issues they are tackling.
Those sharing were: Kerry Bradley,
chairman of Lenscrafters, Inc., the most profitable business in America
(as a percentage); Doris McMillon, actress and former ABC News Anchor
woman in the Washington D.C area; and two-sport champion, Joe
Gibbs. Guests were accommodated at the Hilton Charlotte University
Place.
Comments by attendees:
“This event was excellent from soup to nuts; from training to
track.”
“I just want to thank you for a wonderful event. It was my privilege
to be here. Our guests had a wonderful time.”
“Thank you so much for making this a memorable experience!”
“The casual opening with the extended Q&A time with Joe Gibbs
and Norm Miller was priceless.”
