I had left the activities in the south of France and was heading north towards Bordeaux , not knowing where I was to stay that night.
Tired , I stopped at a rest stop and had my head in my hands wondering where to go next, when someone tapped me on the back.
Startled, I turned around to find Alain and his lovely wife Christine standing behind me. I had met them a few days before and we talked about meeting again one day. Seeing the condition I was in they invited me to come home with them as they lived on the way to Bordeaux.
It was just fate that I should meet them and to my surprise , I learned that Alain was the owner of a French NASCAR team, with two cars, #17 & 18. NASCAR has been expanding its racing program in Europe and as luck would have it, I had a chance to interview Alain and to see his cars at NoGaro race track, 3rd largest track in France .
Here are some pictures of Alain at home and at the track. I have been invited by Alain to a NASCAR race at Le Mans in October and to watch his cars in the race. I spent two great days with Alain and his family .
Family including his mom in my car.
Alain's #18 NASCAR & Crew Alain also owns a 73 Corvette with a very American paint theme.
