It’s story time, NASCAR style, at the Children’s Museum of Richmond next Monday, April 22, at 5:30 p.m. Richmond International Racewayis teaming up with NASCAR K&N Pro Series East driver and Midlothian, VA native Sam Hunt to celebrate the opening of the Pit Stop exhibit at CMoR’s Central location (2626 W. Broad St., Richmond, VA 23220).

The event features a Q&A followed by a special Story Time with Sam, as he reads the book, Racer Buddies: Rematch at Richmond. Fans of all ages are invited to tour Sam’s car hauler and see his race car for the upcoming BLUE OX 100, and check out the RIR Pace Car. Admission to the museum is FREE after 5 p.m.

The Pit Stop exhibit is a traveling, four-piece, interactive display that teaches kids and adults all about the country’s most popular racing series that originally launched in early February at the Chesterfield CMoR location (6629 Lake Harbour Dr., Midlothian, VA 23112, in the Winterpock Shopping Center).

The four pieces of the exhibit include:

·         The Flag Stand: Visual and interactive explanation of what each flag used during a NASCAR race indicates

·         Half Car: Children can sit inside an actual NASCAR race car that has been cut in half to see what it’s like inside the cockpit

·         Build Your Own Race Car: Visitors may build small scale cars to race against others, with the opportunity to modify the pieces to make them go faster

·         When They Were Young: Historical facts and information about NASCAR drivers, crew chiefs and owners who hail from Virginia
