It is no secret that when Austin Dillon is not at the race track piloting the famed black #3 he can be found fishing on the lake or enjoying the scenery from the deer stand a perfect match for his sponsor, Bass Pro Shops. Later this month Dillon will have the opportunity to partner with his sponsor for the grand re-opening of the Bass Pro Shops located at Opry Mills Mall in Nashville, which received devastating damage due to a massive flood earlier this year. The Music City location has been closed for four months. “I always enjoy checking different Bass Pro Shops locations when I travel to races, so I am anxious to see how the Nashville store has changed since the remodeling,” said Dillon (No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet). The flooding in Nashville was a pretty bad deal. Many people were affected, including race fans, so it’s neat to see some of the places devastated by the flood rebuilt.” The “re-grand” opening will take place on Thursday, Oct. 14. Dillon will be on site to help raise money for flood victims still recovering and sign autographs.
