For the third year, SpeedFreaks will mount up their motorsports ponies and head to Bristol Motor Speedway to host the Sharpie MINI World interactive area for the upcoming legendary NASCAR weekend. The Freaks' Crash Gladys and Lugg Nuttz will be the Freakin' featured Sharpie hosts for two full days mixing it up with some of the greatest fans in motorsports.

"We couldn't possibly be more excited about the Sharpie 500 being upon us once again," says Director of Motorsports for Newell Rubbermaid (Sharpie's parent company) and Freak Nation devotee Eric Pinkham. "We will strengthen our commitment to the greatest fans in the sport by inviting them to participate in Sharpie MINI World - a complete interactive display area where they can test drive their favorite Sharpie permanent markers and meet our special events team. To have SpeedFreaks host this event brings the added excitement and celebrity to Sharpie World for the third year in a row."

"Over the last six years, SpeedFreaks has blazed the trail on the way motorsports is covered on radio and TV, on-site promotion is no different," reflects Freaks' Prez, Kenny Sargent. "Sharpie's confidence in our contemporary and cutting edge approach on promoting its product speaks volumes. If you are headed to the Sharpie 500, take some time to visit Sharpie MINI World to watch and listen to Lugg and Crash engage the consumer... that's money."

Sharpie MINI World is located in the front entrance interactive area at Bristol Motor Speedway. Things get going with SpeedFreaks Friday morning at 9am to 7pm and then again Saturday for the Sharpie 500 at 9am. Crash and Lugg will be bearing gifts including an array of Shapie products, SpeedFreaks swag and more!
