Michael Waltrip will go straight to Rockingham without going home and is in New York City now. From his PR person (heard from an XM Radio report). “He is in New York this morning. He started out at WNBC in New York on their morning show – he got to wake up New York City with his bright shiny voice and eyes and got to basically got to tell the world that he’s going to back in July and back in February to be the three time Daytona 500 Champion. He’s not settling for two time although he’s pretty satisfied with it right now. Right now standing in the lobby of the Fox building and he’s going to say hello to the nation and be on fox and friends and we’re going to run over to the stock exchange and he’s going to ring the bell at the stock exchange this morning. Then it looks like he’s going to do some one on ones over at NASCAR’s PR firm at Allen Taylor he’ll be there a couple of hours enjoy lunch over at Smith and Walinski and then he’ll be off to do Gretta Van Sustern [Fox News – On the Record] and a couple of other radio shows and [ESPN] Dan Patrick and one of the Chicago radio stations. He’s not even going to make it home before he goes to Rockingham. We’ve still got tomorrow morning (Thursday) he’s got Regis and Kelley in the morning and then he goes to Philadelphia to do a QVC show – kind of like Tampa Bay did their deal after they won the Superbowl.” Note: PR advice had Mike and Buffy pack an extra “New York” bag just in case they won….and they are now taking advantage of the smart thinking.( XM Radio Satellite – NASCAR Radio aired at 10:30am/et and will be througout the day)(2-19-2003)
