After visiting Joe Gibbs we headed to Lowe’s Motor Speedway to enjoy the longest race of the season mileage wise in NASCAR. 600 laps around the track in Charlotte would put each car on the track to quite a test. The Nationwide race the night before was excellent as Kyle Busch took home the victory in the #32 Dollar General car. Here is a little video from victory lane I shot.

Before the 600 we grabbed some Vietnamese food with Phil and the Theory guys at Pho Real in Charlotte. It was an excellent place and I got a great meal with fried rice, eggs, and beef!

Also before the race Kyle Busch visited the Coca-Cola stage on Speed Street to do an interview. After Kyle Busch took to the stage Stanton Barrett also came by for a chat with the fans.

Here is a view of the track from the back stretch of Lowe’s Motor Speedway.

Right after Formula D we drove up to Mooresville, North Carolina to meet up with MMI and get ready for the NASCAR All-Star race weekend. Blair Stopnik took us to a great Carolina BBQ spot called Lancaster’s BBQ. It was full of NASCAR memorabilia.

Check out the #18 hood on the wall from the old Interstate Battery car!

Bryce from Joe Gibbs Racing took us on a full tour of the facility which was amazing. For you non NASCAR fans Joe Gibbs Racing runs the #20 car (Tony Stewart), # 18 car (Kyle Busch), and #11 car (Denny Hamlin). We were unable to take photos inside JGR but I snapped these from the viewing deck that visitors can watch the cars in the process of building.

Right after the Drift Alliance premiere we had Formula D Atlanta. What a blur that weekend was but I had a ton of fun wielding around a 300mm fixed 2.8/L I rented from PPR for the weekend.

Here is my lens as I am waiting for the top 16 to kick off on Saturday.

On Sunday I met up with Antonio Alvendia and some friends to hit up Daddy D’z!

Antonio discovered that I did know where the best corn bread and macaroni/cheese was in Atlanta. He then shot this Chevelle right in front of Daddy D’z for Speedhunters.

Well I made it back to the United States just in time for the Drift Alliance Premiere at the MAC theater in Atlanta. Everyone showed up early and was ready to walk the red carpet and see the new Drift Alliance movie the guys had been working on forever.

Lindsay was my guest to the event.

Here are the guys from MMI getting ready just before the movie started.

Here is Chris Forsberg doing an interview with Wrecked Magazine before the movie starts.

Tanner Foust gave Wrecked Magazine some positive feedback after he saw the movie.

Andrew Laputka doing an interview with Jarod for Formula D TV.

Check out the movie trailer below! Good job to everyone who worked on this Stay Hungry film. It was a vast improvement from the Bad As Hell movie they released a few years back.
