Miss Sprint Cup Kim Coon and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series trophy
Kim is the veteran of the group of three Miss Sprint Cup Ambassadors 2014 and one of only two four-year members in the history of the program. She was also a contestant on the television show The Bachelor season 15 in 2011. Gig first met Kim in March 2013 and attended his first NASCAR race March 9, 2014. He had a Neon Garage pass and was offered an all-access press pass but did not get it. Even without the all-access press pass Gig did see the President of NASCAR after the race in the Neon Garage area.
Gig’s two favorite drivers are Dale Earnhardt Jr. http://www.dalejr.com/ and the only female Sprint Cup driver Danica Patrick http://www.danicaracing.com/. When Gig attended his first ever live race Dale Earnhardt Jr http://www.dalejr.com/. led the race before running out of gas with just one half lap to the finish line, ultimately finishing in second place.
Gig was introduced to NASCAR by a friend in February 2012 and has watched a portion of almost every Sprint Cup race until 2017 which was when Dale Earnhardt Jr. announced his retirement from NASCAR. And Danica Patrick announced she would no longer be a full time driver on the NASCAR circuit.
