Here I am sitting in my 89 Corvette waiting to pick up a NASCAR driver for a parade lap in Phoenix,2009. General Motors had always provided parade cars for the races until this year but due to economic conditions declined to do so. Our local Corvette club was asked to provide Corvette Convertibles by Phoenix International Raceway and I ended up driving car number 1. I'm sitting below the grandstand with John McCain and other dignitaries above me as the drivers are being introduced. This,to the best of everyone's knowledge, was the first time in memory private cars had been used for parade purposes at a NASCAR event. It was so popular with the fans that PIR has continued to do this ever since.
