While at NHIS this past Sunday… my wife, Pattyjo, can get anyone’s attention, especially men, celebrities or not. The whole episode was both funny and overwhelming.
Michael Waltrip was doing an autograph session in his novelty trailer during the race. He didn’t qualify, again, so he was doing something nice for the Victory Junction Gang Camp. Basically he was selling #55 hats with his autograph for $20 with $1 of the proceeds going to the VJGC.
While in the crowd I lost Pattyjo so I called her cell. She told me where she was but I could not see her… I yelled her name and she waved a $20 spot in the air yelling “I’m over here Michael [me], I feel like I’m doing a strip tease”… well that got Waltrip’s attention and before we knew it he said she could do a dance for him and within no time he was up close and very personal with us. After the whole fun was over Pattyjo got a hug and I got a hand shake. Pattyjo was making him laugh and the whole crowd for that matter.
The pics show that we probably could have gotten an invite back to his motorcoach.
We both left there with a whole new attitude towards Michael.
