Anyone been to one and how long did it take Jill to notify you if you made the list? I put mine in for talladega last night and hope to find out soon.

Kevin did (is still doing) 11 meet & greets this year. Daytona, Vegas, Martinsville, Texas, Kansas, Charlotte, Sonoma, Pocono and Michigan with Richmond and Dega still to come. I don't know how many other drivers do any more or less. Personally, I think this is pretty darn good. But they don't race north of Cali or Vegas and over to Chicago. I would think your closest shot was Kansas. They are also set up at races where Kevin can work us in. Sounds selfish, but it's the reality of work. Whether it's us at work and the spouse wants us to come home earliy, most times we can but sometimes we can't. It's just like him. Whether he's running cup, x or trucks, practice times, NASCAR meetings or other sponsorship calls they are (shall I say) more important. Jill will email the members next year's meet & greets toward the end of this year. Who's to say what tracks will show up. Good luck to all of us.

Well I have a meet and greet question...lol The ones that have already attended a meet and greet how long does it usually take and how long do you have to stand in line before it starts? The reason I am asking this question is because my husband is going and he has back problems and is not able to stand for long periods of time. We may have to take some kind of chair for him to sit in if we have to wait for a long period of time.. Thanks in advance

At Daytona I was pretty far back in line (near the end)...took maybe 1.5 hours....(plenty of nice folks in line) Of course you'll appreciate the fact kev does not rush you along when its your turn to say hi! Your husband should be able to set up shop in front of where the pics are being taken in a chair and wait for you. They start pretty much on time...its really well executed by Jill and crew. So if you want in and out fast--get in line early---personally I like watching to the end of the race, so im usually last

Yes as rameye said. You can bring a chair, set it up in front. You can move it along with you as you wait in line. Your fellow fans won't mind and will help you along. And if you have a wheel chair, thats also ok.

If I may add my two cents here... I've always preferred to be closer to the front. I have several items signed by Kevin and I've noticed (not trying to infer anything) that the longer he signs, the messier the autograph becomes. Like I said, I'm not trying to accuse him of anything, but everyone's hands get tired after signing item after item.
So, I always try to be towards the front.

So the meet and greet is after the race? I would think not. I haven't been to one that was scheduled for afterwards... When he wins the race, he has sponsorship commitments that need to be met ... I.E. interviews and victory lane pictures... That could push the Meet and Greet back HOURS....

I am glad we decided to go a day early and made reservations in advance to stay Saturday night . There is no Xfinity race but there is a truck race

They are different for each event. Most are the same, but don't let that "most" set your schedule. You need to email Jill through the fan club email address we have. You can find it from about two weeks ago from her letting us know the otjer site was closing. She will email all the attendees about a week or two b4 then event. To help clear your mind, drop her a line and see if she has your event Day, Time and Place set up yet.
