 R/C car grid MMI worked with Kyle Busch and NOS Energy Drink to put on a special R/C (radio-control) racing event at Charlotte Motor Speedway entitled Rowdy R/C All Stars presented by NOS Energy Drink. Busch, aka Rowdy, invited out some of his NASCAR colleagues to join him and some of the top R/C racers in America from Team Associated. Joining Busch were Juan Pablo Montoya, Scott Speed, Michael McDowell, TJ Bell, Matt DiBenedetto, Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin, Bobby Labonte and NASCAR crew chief, Dave Rogers. Busch took the Celebrity class victory by easily maneuvering his NOS-sponsored 1:10 scale No. 18 Team Associated R/C truck through the 50 ft. by 100 ft. dirt and asphalt off-road track that featured double jumps, hairpin turns, moguls, and a steep dirt berm that led into a 2 ft. high kicker jump. Busch turned his short course electric truck just like the professionals, making minimal mistakes, to out-run runner-up Scott Speed. He later tested his skills against one of the best in the world, Team Associated driver Ryan Maifield, driving a 1:8 scale nitro buggy in the pro demonstration race.

 Brian Scott poses inside NC Music Factory MMI partnered with photo powerhouse Getty Images to put on a two-day lifestyle photo shoot with a dozen MMI clients at the NC Music Factory facility in uptown Charlotte. Drivers like Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, Jamie McMurray and other Sprint Cup, Nationwide, and Truck Series drivers spent several hours with two Getty photographers in roaming the old textile mill turned entertainment venue. The collection of imagery turned out amazing and shows the non-racing side of each driver. Many commented that this wasn’t the “usual NASCAR shoot” and all seemed to enjoy the change of scenery from the typical studio posing.

 Bristol victory burnout (c) Getty Images Kyle Busch made history and, at the same time, took control of his destiny this season in winning the Sharpie 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway last Saturday night. Busch’s fourth Sprint Cup Series win of 2009 pushed Busch to the record for the most wins under the age of 25 with 16 wins. Busch surpassed Jeff Gordon and will likely add to his total with 22 more points races remaining until he turns 25 next May. The win also put Busch on the verge of re-joining the top 12 Chase for the Sprint Cup contenders with only two races remaining before the Chase begins Sept. 20 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The win bumped the 24-year-old up two spots to 13th in the championship standings, and he’s now just 34 points behind 12th-place Matt Kenseth.
