Author Information

Wisconsin native John Close grew up in racing in the 1950s cheering on his father's jalopy stock cars four or five nights a week. John took his love of the sport to Charlotte assuming public relations duties for Bobby Labonte in 1994. John also managed marketing and media projects with Hendrick Motorsports, Richard Petty Motorsports, and Ultra Motorsports. His biggest thrills came at the track, though, being a Spotter for more than 14 years and 150 NASCAR races.
