Kyle Busch Motorsports is thrilled to announce that 10-year-old Gabe Bridges-Aldridge from Justin, Tex., was selected the winner of the “Riding Shotgun with Kyle Busch Motorsports” essay contest for Texas Motor Speedway. Bridges-Aldridge’s name and picture will adorn the area above the passenger side window of the #18 Traxxas Tundra for the WinStar World Casino 350k NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race Friday, Nov. 4. Bridges-Aldridge and his family will have the opportunity to attend Friday’s event compliments of Texas Motor Speedway and will get the chance to meet Busch on the starting grid prior to the race. Bridges-Aldridge, a student at Clara Love Elementary School, had his essay selected as the winner among submissions from children ages 5-12 in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. “The most important thing in life is when you play your best and that’s what makes a winner,” Brides-Aldridge proclaimed in his essay. “I know even if we lose, we still win with him as our coach. He teaches us to never give up on the team or ourselves and I will never give up.”(Kyle Busch Motorsports PR)(10-30-2011)
