The Tony Stewart “Smoke Show” fantasy camp at Texas Motor Speedway that benefits the Speedway Children’s Charities-Texas Chapter will be featured in a segment on NBC’s Today Show, on Wednesday during the 7 a.m. CT/8 a.m. ET hour. Reporter Jenna Bush Hager, daughter of 43rd President George W. Bush and Dallas native, came out to Texas Motor Speedway in mid-August to partake in the annual charity event at Texas Motor Speedway hosted by Stewart. The “Smoke Show” is a one-day fantasy camp where each participant gets the opportunity to feel what it is like to be a NASCAR driver for a day. The participants not only drive stock cars on Texas Motor Speedway’s high-banked, 1.5-mile oval, but take part in pre-race activities and a post-race Victory Lane celebration for the full experience. The day was highlighted by driving lessons and a two-seater ride for the guests, including Bush Hager, by Stewart. Hager Bush’s story will focus on Stewart’s charity work, including the “Smoke Show” that raised over $200,000 during the one-day event.(TMS)(9-21-2010)
