2018 Charlotte - All Star - Pre-Race Thread

Good performance by Joey drinking the Coke.

Why do they continue with this farce when we all know they aren't drinking anything. I doubt there is any Coke at all in the bottle.

I wonder what they're going to do with the schedule. If it wasn't for TV, I'd move everything Cup-related to tomorrow. They definitely need the practice time (probably more than they need to qualify) and the track isn't being used Saturday until 6:00 or so.

But TV.

That's why the drivers do it. How about Coke?

Same reason any advertiser uses celebrities: because some people are gullible enough to buy a product they'd otherwise ignore simply because it's used by someone they admire.

Pace and Old El Paso are competing for my salsa endorsements.

I'm not a big fan of this event, but this is one of favorite moments in racing. One of those times when a crew chief realizes the implications of a rule and finds the loophole.

I remember that ---- I was yelling at the TV. LOL
 
Damn, that Winston race where Allison got hurt made me cry. I wasn't ready for that. Didn't know what was going to happen.
 
90 miles to the SSW and I can't buy a raindrop. The wet stuff won't come west of I-77 this week, at least not in measureable quantities.
 
Went in today for a Coca-Cola interview, they asked what I like about Cocalcola one of my answers was I like they sponsor NASCAR and I’m going to Coca-Cola 600 next week.. manager looked at me and started to laugh and said your going to burn up in that heat! Then he said aren’t you going to go. I said no that’s to much money to spend on both weekends.. he walks out and come back in with two tickets !!!! And said today is your lucky day!! ENJOY lol

Okay, listen to me, smart boy. Take as many selfies as you can with Coke products and logos at the track. Post them on the social media site of your preference. Sent an e-mail to the guy who interviewed you, thanking him for the tickets and include a link to the photos. Maybe some product placement will help you land the job. Getting the tickets was great, but getting the job would be better. Good luck with that!

Hot passes, free tickets...sheesh I'm moving to NC to get some of that good fortune
 
Back when I worked for Grainger, one of my service stops was the local Coca Cola bottling plant. Every single person in that building that I encountered was genuinely awesome. They all seemed to really like their jobs too. Good luck General, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you

Interned with Coke a couple of years ago, can confirm they're good people and have a cool culture. Good luck dude.

What will happen if the whole weekend is rained out?

Well since they arent rushing off to another part of the country I imagine they would run it whenever it dries out this week.
 
Good luck with the Coke job.
I just hope it is not a delivery job. God bless the guys who do it.

I interviewed with Coke for a CDL store delivery job. I thought it was a joke when they told me what the pay was. The pay just to have a CDL was laughable and slinging cases was a joke also.
The other parts of the job was nuts.
God bless the guys that do it.

What do you mean they pay to just have a cdl?
 
If they do not figure out how to get every participant on the track for practice, they should cancel the entire event. The vehicles are not even close to what they normally race so they will all be shooting in the dark, do not expect consistent competition.
