Hardcore Race Fans on hand Friday night with access into Lowes Motor Speedway will be able to meet and seek autographs from many drivers in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, weather permitting.

Many hardcore race fans are familiar with the practice seen on short tracks in many parts of the country, where the track itself plays host to the autograph session as an alternative to fans running from one location to another in search of their favorite drivers.

The front straightaway is scheduled to be open from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, October 16th to meet participating drivers.

The list includes Michael Annett; recent sensation Trevor Bayne; journeyman driver in all three premiere NASCAR series, Mike Bliss; hard-working Georgia native Ken Butler III; 2-time Camping World West champion and former Camping World Truck driver Brendan Gaughan; Greenville, SC-born Jason Keller, favored by many locals; Robert Richardson Jr., Peyton Sellers; the ageless veteran Morgan Shepherd; current favorite at Roush-Fenway Racing, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and John Wes Townley.

Arrive early, avoid traffic, and enjoy the event.
