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.
