All I can think about while doing this write up is the movie Talladega Nights. I mean come on, doesn't Dennis Enarson look a little like Ricky Bobby? Ok, maybe not that much but I'm sure watching him drive around the track in a legit NASCAR was just about as funny as that movie. The reason you see Dennis standing in front of a real NASCAR above, is because his sponsor Matador gave him and the rest of the team an opportunity of a lifetime. Before the final stop of the Dew Tour goes down in Orlando this weekend, the entire team was invited out to a day at the race track and the opportunity to drive a real NASCAR.
Jeremy Pavia from BMX Plus! Magazine was on hand and was able to snap some pics and ask Dennis Enarson some questions about his experience. I think pretty amazing what sponsors are doing for BMX athletes these days, don't you?
