Nascar and Stampin' Up

I have a few friends that are Stampin' UP demos and are also Nascar fans. Well, yesterday I was at the Nationwide race in Richmond, VA and we get pit passes for that race because you can see both Nationwide and cup car drivers all in the same day and if you are lucky, you can get their autograph. I have gotten a lot throughout the years but I never really aimed for Nationwide drivers but I took a liking to a driver Justin Allgaier. 

Here is a pic of Justin just after qualifying for Nationwide in Richmond.

Here is a pic of Justin's car as it is being rolled out to pit road after inspection.

I had made up a Top Note pad of sorts to get autographs on and when I held it out for him to sign, he looked up and asked are you a stamper? And I said yes and he said Stampin' Up! and I said yes and I asked him how in the world would a Nascar driver at the age of 24 know about Stampin' UP. He told me he recognized the top note die and that his wife does Stampin Up. I asked if she was here and he pointed her out to me and I went and talked to her. She says she gets him to help her all the time when she has lots of items to do. Here name is Ashley Allgaier. She was so nice. So all you women out there, tell them this story. I mean, Nascar drivers are one of the busiest people I know. So now I have another reason to like Justin as a driver because he also helps his wife with Stampin' Up. That could be a big story for Stampin' UP. It would reach a whole set of new people. It also shows that by using SU products, you never know who you will meet.

Here I am showing Ashely my Top Note Autograph book. 

Here she is telling me the story of how she get Justin to help her and about the last project they did for a Baby Shower and it used the top note die which is probably why he recognized it.
