So as I was driving up 85 to get on Speedway Blvd. today to get some yummy Taco Bell I encountered seeing several Busch Series haulers on the way to the track today. The closest I got to one would be the 11 of Paul Menard, which went right past me as I was stopped at the red light. I wish I was wearing my sunglasses, that sucker is BRIGHT. I don't see the need them to put headlights on that thing. After I left the Bell I saw the 12 and 40 haulers from FitzBradshaw. Part of me wast just expecting them to wreck, given the propensity of the cars inside to do the same. Until you see them up close and in person, it is hard to really appreciate the size of a team hauler. They are truly a rolling garage and billboard rolled together. In fact, the haulers' design is surpassed only by its functionality. I've had inside access to a hauler before, albeit it was several years ago. For those that can remember, Bob Brevak was a driver that bounced from the Truck Series to ARCA and I believe the Winston West Series. As is true now, the Truck Series haulers had to park somewhere outside the track to make run for the Cup haulers. I'm not sure how his team ended up 20 miles south of the track, but they landed at a motel a one-minute drive from my house. My dad took me over there and we got to meet Bob and the team. They were first-class people through and through. I got to see the backup Truck inside the hauler, toured the cab, and hung out in the lounge inside just talking to him. I got a few autographs and left that day a Bob Brevak fan. I'm not sure what Bob is up to now, I've seen the team make occaisional starts in the Trucks. I was awestruck by them then, I can only imagine what they are like today.
