ALLMENDINGER SET TO APPEAR AS NEW BEST BUY OPENS IN COLUMBUS, IN
Packing his free time with training, racing anything with wheels on it, and a whole lot of gaming, AJ Allmendinger likes to keep busy, and this weekend will be no different as he visits the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Brickyard 400 with the No. 43 Valvoline Ford Fusion for Richard Petty Motorsports.
In addition to the normal schedule of appearances, practice sessions, and the all-important qualifying, AJ will be part of a special event on Friday as he will be part of the opening day for a brand-new Best Buy in Columbus, Indiana.
The store opened its doors at 10:00 AM on Friday morning, and AJ will get a chance to check out the newest addition to the Best Buy family personally as he will be part of the opening day festivities by cutting the ribbon and then staging an autograph session starting at 6:30 PM Friday. The session is open to the public. The store, located at National and Taylor roads in the Clifty Crossing shopping center, opened the day by giving the first 50 visitors a $20 Best Buy gift cards.
“I’m looking forward to the opening of the Columbus Best Buy,” said AJ, who also visited an Orlando-area Best Buy earlier this week. “It is great to have a sponsor like Best Buy that continues to grow and I’m excited to be a part of it these events always turn out to be fun--even before someone turns Guitar Hero on! It is a busy race weekend, but I like it that way so hopefully we have a lot of people coming out to see us.”
Allmendinger has been posting consistently strong results in the No. 43, and will look to pick up where he left off at Chicago with another strong outing over the yard of bricks as he makes his 100th NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race start.
