MEDIA ADVISORY FOR THURSDAY, JUNE 24 IN MILWAUKEE

MATCH STRIKES & SPARES WITH NASCAR DRIVERS

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will visit the Milwaukee Mile next Friday (June 24) for the Toyota Tundra Milwaukee 200 race. However, before the drivers strap on their helmets and put on their fire suits for Friday?s schedule of practice, qualifying and the race, it?s time to challenge these drivers in a sport away from the track -- a game of bowling. Craftsman Truck Series drivers are fast, tough and tenacious, but can they conquer a Milwaukee bowling alley and knock down a strike or two, while staying out of the gutter? Come find out! Throw on your best bowling shirt (Prizes will be awarded to the most unique shirt!) and roll a few frames with these NASCAR drivers, and grab a driver interview or two. Here are the details:
