Dale Jr. on NBC's "TODAY" show Tuesday morning
|
Dale Earnhardt Jr., driver of the #8 Budweiser Chevrolet, will be featured on the NBC early-morning news program, TODAY, in a feature piece entitled "Live For Today". The Live for Today segment is a month-long series in which TODAY fulfills the dreams of its viewers. Miechel Bassett, a 33-year-old mother of two from Evansville, Ind., dreamed of driving a stock car at a NASCAR NEXTEL Cup venue. With the help of NBC news anchorman Brian Williams and fellow Nextel Cup driver Tony Stewart, Earnhardt Jr. was able to fulfill Miechel's dream at Richmond International Raceway this past weekend. Miechel, an avid Dale Jr. fan, turned laps with both Nextel Cup stars, and even took a turn behind the wheel herself. On Saturday night, she served as an honorary pit crew member for the #8 Budweiser team.
The "Live for Today" segment will air Tuesday morning, May 16, during the 8:00 - 8:30 a.m. timeslot. Miechel's wish was one of 60,000 received by TODAY as part of its month-long series.
Thanks to Jade Gurss and Mike Davis from fingerprint inc. for sending the race reports and updates.
