Ticket prices reduced- And DJ's 'racing' the truck!
Mar 19, 2008 | 2:06PM | report this

(The special paint scheme can be seen there too)

Dale Jarrett will finally "race" the truck and Lowe's Motor Speedway is offering a special two-day ticket package for just $44 so fans can be on hand Saturday night, May 17, when Jarrett's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered Tour" culminates at the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race

.....before Jarrett straps into the No. 44 UPS Toyota Camry for the final time, he'll do something fans have eagerly anticipated, he's going to "race" the truck. After Jarrett is introduced prior to the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race, he will step into the UPS Race Truck from the UPS ad campaign and take one lucky fan for a ride around the 1.5-mile superspeedway.

I think this is a fitting tribute to Dale Jarrett.

Anyone who gets to attend will indeed have witnessed an important event.

Any of you that get to go had better come back with a full report!

	photogr Mar 19, 2008 2:33 PM		That will be an interesting sight.

	YeeMum_ Mar 19, 2008 2:40 PM		Since there will be a fan in the truck with him, I guess they won't let him "get up to speed". Now that would be something!

	photogr Mar 19, 2008 2:43 PM		I should hope not. Those trucks appear to be mighty top heavy.

	YeeMum_ Mar 19, 2008 2:49 PM		Of course I ment just close to up to speed. (Don't want the man injured before the All Star race) But if it's a s...l...o..w.. parade lap, I will be dissappointed :(

	klvalus Mar 19, 2008 2:52 PM		Very cool indeed! I too hope they let him rev it up a bit...I cant remember the banking at Lowes but I bet that truck wont handle much or it will be on its side! Good scoop Yee!

	Smokeforever Mar 19, 2008 3:00 PM		that is just too cool. Hope they telecast it.

	DOWNGOESFRAZIER Mar 19, 2008 3:06 PM		Yeemum "I want to race the truck" man that would be a blast "special delivery" Its going to be sad when he finaly hangs up his helmet pretty good career

	YeeMum_ Mar 19, 2008 3:09 PM		klvalus~ yep- we wanna "race" the truck , not "wreck" the truck. :)

	YeeMum_ Mar 19, 2008 3:11 PM		Smokeforever~ Since it is after introductions, and before the start of the race, I wager we will all get to see it. UPS is going to get all the air time they can with this big moment.

	Tezgm99 Mar 19, 2008 3:12 PM		please let that be televised....on knees here, lol

	YeeMum_ Mar 19, 2008 3:14 PM		DOWNGOESFRAZIER~ The nice thing is Dale will be going out in style, and he already has the gig in the booth. I think we'll get to see plenty of him. Just think the guys in the booth don't have to qualify!!!!!!!!!!! don't you wish some of them had to?

	YeeMum_ Mar 19, 2008 3:21 PM		Tez~ we need to encourage the pre-race hype being televised this time, eh?

	JOKERSWILD Mar 19, 2008 3:21 PM		YEEMUM: whats going on little lady? I think Dale will be better in the booth then ol'Waltrip god I was glad when his voice prevented him from his usual dribble And how fun would that be to take a lap in the truck I would keep tellin him COME ON DALE LETS SEE WHAT THIS THING WILL DO....take it easy Yeemum.......................JW Last edited by JOKERSWILD on March 19th at 3:23 PM.

	YeeMum_ Mar 19, 2008 3:34 PM		JW~ glad you stopped by- I don't mind DW but to each his own. Could be fun seeing him 'get into it'

	blue@orange Mar 19, 2008 3:48 PM		hey mum; important? event? i dont know, cute, fuzzy and make you feel all warm inside, but important? the man yes. his retirement yes. but a lap in the truck, great marketing and publicity for ups and fun for the fans, sure. as i look to the right i noticed 4 question marks following a question ive made famous.lol just tell me this? was it the compliment about your computer repair skills that put me on the board?

	YeeMum_ Mar 19, 2008 3:53 PM		b&o~ Dale's last laps (as far as we know) Lowered ticket prices. Any All Star race (just me) All at the same time= an event (to me) The hype with the truck etc is just icing. As to the other-- I enjoy reading most of your stuff, this makes you easier to find. (and that other thing) Last edited by YeeMum_ on March 19th at 3:55 PM.

	Dwindy1 Mar 19, 2008 4:33 PM		Dale... I hardly knew you... Here's hoping life has more UPS than downs!

	YeeMum_ Mar 19, 2008 4:35 PM		Dwindy~ you just had to do that one didn't you! And I liked it!

	Marty Walker Mar 19, 2008 4:41 PM		I thought that was funny too. How are ya Yeemum.

	degraff Mar 19, 2008 4:54 PM		Hey Marty your back

	YeeMum_ Mar 19, 2008 4:57 PM		Marty~ good to see your avatar back! degraff~ thanks for stopping

	blue@orange Mar 19, 2008 5:04 PM		can you tell me why hes not racing the whole year? i watch the races, qualif,speed, dave dispane, practice, and somehow missed the story

	YeeMum_ Mar 19, 2008 5:05 PM		fer as I know he just decided it was time to retire. now I'm not certain if he made that decision before or after he was offered the announcers gig? Some one will tell us I'm sure Last edited by YeeMum_ on March 19th at 5:07 PM.

	degraff Mar 19, 2008 5:16 PM		YeeMum, DJ was the guy I followed ever since 93 when Ned called his 500 win. Class guy. Now I have to find some one else to pull for. Last edited by degraff on March 19th at 5:17 PM.

	blue@orange Mar 19, 2008 5:17 PM		dam dudski; he coulda chose "breakdown" i could live with that stuck in my head a little easier hey mum; maybe degraff knows the reason Last edited by blue@orange on March 19th at 5:19 PM.

	degraff Mar 19, 2008 6:10 PM		DJ has been planning this for a couple of years. He just wanted to go with MWR to help them get started and use his "Past Champions provisionals" to get him some owner points. He's had this booth gig in the works and its something he wanted to do. Dale is a devoute family man and he wanted to be able to spend a couple of more days a week with the wife and his girls. Now the big question is who do I start pulling for? And don't anyone say the Busch brothers.

	Forensic2 Mar 19, 2008 6:38 PM		Oh- I thought he was going to be in the race all done up in brown. Oh well.

	Gerrel Mar 19, 2008 8:08 PM		It will be nice to see Dale race the truck. I wont be able to go to Charlotte though...as we'll be at the Indy race track for IRL quals that weekend.

	HawgRider Mar 20, 2008 6:28 AM		YeeMum- Great fun post. DJ saved the best for last and I thnk it's great he's finally getting to race the truck. I'll miss both DJ and the commercials!

	fishwanda Mar 20, 2008 7:07 AM		Great post YeeMum!

	moseby Mar 20, 2008 7:51 AM		You know, I am looking forward to having DJ in the booth. Quite surprised he is that good...very smooth. Much better than Rusty. They should do it like the commercial where some of his buddies, like Kyle, Bobby, Mark, Jeff and Dale Jr. go race him to the line.

	YeeMum_ Mar 20, 2008 9:17 AM		degraff~Thanks for the info! Picking a new driver? Is manufacturer or sponsor a factor? Take a look at the rookies & semi rookies (not a bad crop there) b&o~ He got you too, eh? (and thankyouverymuch for replacing it with that one)

	YeeMum_ Mar 20, 2008 9:20 AM		Forensic~ I've had the song "Tell me three things uglier than Dale Jarrett's car" I can't remember the comedian right nowin my head all week. (from when it was brown) I saw the special paint scheme and was kindof disappointed.But ... Gerrel~Have fun there!

	YeeMum_ Mar 20, 2008 9:35 AM		HawgRider~Thank you, Who knows, there might be enough "racing" the truck footage to feed a commercial or two? fishwanda~ long time no type! moseby~ I like him in the booth too!(so far he doesn't have any quirks that annoy me) HMMMMMMMMMM maybe that commercial was a set-up for what might (could) happen? Now how awewome would that be!

	smallblockcamaro Mar 22, 2008 8:40 AM		I agree with you, Joker. Waltrip and his baby talk plus his butting in make him a pain in the donkey. Rusty is boring but I think I would rather be bored than irritated. Boogity, boogity, my buttocks. On another note, I think Jarret has enough experience to know when/if the truck is about to topple. I think they should let him take it up to whatever speed it can muster.

	YeeMum_ Mar 25, 2008 9:35 AM		smallblock~I would like to see Dale 'push' the truck a bit. But with a fan in the truck there may be serious constraints put on him.

	smallblockcamaro Mar 25, 2008 9:47 AM		True, but he could give the fan a trip or two, drop the fan off, and then go for it!

	YeeMum_ Mar 25, 2008 2:21 PM		The way I read it it will just be one lap before the start of the race. So probably no dice there. We had some great ideas here though!

	smallblockcamaro Mar 25, 2008 7:39 PM		Dang it, YeeMum, we did have some very good ideas. Maybe someone with the power will read this and write him down for 3 laps and cut some junk somewhere to allow for this.

	YeeMum_ Mar 26, 2008 12:57 PM		What if he doesn't leave the track. Will they have to black flag him? Teehee?
