When you’re a member of the NASCAR media, you get unique press conferences that come up every once in a while. On Tuesday, Charlotte Motor Speedway held a special press conference regarding the 2015 Sprint All-Star Race later on this month. At the press conference, there were pallets of $1 bills equaling out to $1 million. Let’s just say we all would love to have all this money.

There is one thing we all hate during race events – rain. When rain delays an event or testing, drivers will look for other solutions to pass the time by until it stops and the track dries. In this tweet posted by Ryan Blaney, it shows that you never know when your favorite driver could respond back to you.

One thing all writers and journalist crave are using big words within their stories. Bob Pockrass and Krista Voda shared some thoughts on the matter, saying they feel smarter after reading some of the pieces by Nate Ryan.

When you are a NASCAR driver, you get a lot of perks from the racing team you drive for. When Dale Earnhardt Jr. returned to the shop on Monday, he found a special parking spot to park his vehicle in. It is no secret – we all would love to have a special parking space wherever we go.
Well, could have been a whole lot worse. Avoided some messes. Great job @RickCarelli up in the spotters stand. It's no easy job up there.
