Packers WR Jordy Nelson to Drive NASCAR Pace Car at Kansas 400

Nelson will drive the pace car at the nationally-televised race May 10 on Fox in his home state.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson will drive the pace car at the Kansas 400 on Saturday May 10, Kansas Speedway’s inaugural NASCAR Sprint Cup Series night race.

“Getting the chance to drive alongside some of the greatest racers in the world is truly a dream come true,” said Nelson. “I couldn’t think of a better place to do it than at my home-state track, Kansas Speedway.”

A native of Manhattan, Kan. and alumnus of Kansas State University, Nelson will be taking a break from the midst of the Packers' offseason training program in May to take part in the NASCAR event.

Taking place the same day as the third day of the NFL Draft, Fox will televise the Kansas 400 nationally at 7:30 p.m. CT.

Nelson will be driving the Toyota Highlander V^ pace car.

I always love to visit and read this blog as it has excess information about sports cars and students can visit at http://www.lilachbullock.com/email-marketing-campaign-template/ to manage their task. Being a car lover I appreciate this blog for sharing much information so that we dont have to go anywhere and can learn by sitting at the home.

For new cars: Always test drive a new car when you aren't tired or rushed. Ask lots of questions and take note of any incorrect or questionable answers that you are given. Don't allow yourself to be pressured and leave the dealership if you feel uncomfortable. But before to buy check this one chevy cruze https://carbuzz.com/cars/chevrolet/cruze !

It's not uncommon for us to need delivery services of any kind. But to be honest, finding a company that deserves attention and trust is not as easy as it seems at first glance. But after studying a little information on this subject, I found a company that helped me delivery auto - https://csmdivine.com/delivery/ . Shipping within the U.S. is done by a shipping company from anywhere to the warehouse or the desired port. The prices are very reasonable, and I would even say affordable.
