Lo and behold our way to the grocery store, what did we spot in a liquor store parking lot? The Royal Crown Nascar #17. (It is driven by Nascar driver Matt Kenseth but unfortunately, he was not there with the car)
I think the truck driver was getting a little nervous as my son had to peek in the windows and you could just tell by the excitement on his face that he wanted to take it for a spin.
My son talked to the truck driver and given a promotional card and it had information about the driver on the back of it.
My son said that the car is a souped up Ford Fusion that has a small block engine that puts out 900 horsepower.
