Hi fellow Tesla owners! On Sunday July 13 I will be embarking on an electric road trip from Charlotte, NC to Chicago, IL as I become the first ARCA or NASCAR driver to travel oil free to a race and we are hosting meet ups along the way: With electric ride to Chicagoland Speedway, Leilani Munter to become first ARCA or NASCAR driver to travel oil free to a race - ARCA Racing

(MAP HAS BEEN CORRECTED. Time on map was wrong for Bethesda Meet Up on 14th - it's at 9-1030AM not PM!)
Would love to have some fellow TMCers join me at the supercharger stops! There will be a camera crew filming the trip and we will have giveaways at the meet ups. The two bigger meetups in Bethesda and Chicago are set times. Except for the two meet ups in Bethesda, MD and Chicago, IL these are just ESTIMATED window times for the trip, I will update my ETAs from the road but what I list below could vary by an hour in either direction. Come and see me on the #EVolutionHighway!

I forgot to mention that I am promoting solar power at the racetrack, I'll be in the #66 PrairieGold Solar ARCA racecar for Venturini Motorsports!

If you are interested in watching, race coverage for the Ansell ActivArmr 150 will air live on FOX Sports 2 starting at 6:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, July 19, with live timing and scoring as well as the radio broadcast through the ARCA Racing Network (ARN) online at arcaracing.com.
 
Well unfortunately, it's looking like I won't be able to make it out there tomorrow. It's a shame because I was really looking forward to it.

May be next time! Also, it would be nice to get a 2 or 3-week notice here on the forum before these events.

Sorry to miss you this time! This trip came together very quickly and I posted the schedule as soon as I had it myself! See you down the (electric) road...
 
JakeP and I caught up with Leilani (or rather, SHE caught up with us!) at the Cranberry Supercharger. I think Jake and I have already logged a record number of hours at this Supercharger WITHOUT charging so this morning I made sure I could partake of free electrons. As you all know, who have met her, Leilani is a good soul and we had a good time talking with her. May the rest of your trip be fun and eventful (in the best of ways) and have a good safe race this weekend!
