CONCORD, N.C. - With an event at the Charlotte ROVAL looming on Sunday, Hendrick Motorsports Fan Day is back, offering you the chance to come check out our campus and score some gear in the process.
And did we mention there's something for the kids as well?
From sheet metal sales to face and pumpkin painting, from driver and crew interviews to a balloon artist, there figures to be something for race fans of all ages this Friday.
The Hendrick Motorsports Team Store will be open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. every day with opening being pushed up to 8 a.m. on Friday. The store will also open on both Saturday (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and Sunday (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.).
