NASCAR's pet-loving fans will have an opportunity to join their favorite drivers in the upcoming book Pit Road Pets: NASCAR Stars and Their Pets, the Second Lap. The Pit Road Pets crew will be photographing fans with their pets during the upcoming Coca-Cola 600 weekend at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.

Following the success of the Ryan Newman Foundation's first charity book, “Pit Road Pets: NASCAR Stars and Their Pets,” the foundation will produce a second edition that will not only feature NASCAR's biggest stars with their furry family members, but also NASCAR's biggest fans with their own pets. One hundred percent of the net proceeds will be donated to humane efforts nationwide.

Photographer Karen Will Rogers will be taking pictures of NASCAR fans with their pets at the Pit Road Pets tent directly across from the main entrance to Lowe's Motor Speedway (in the middle of the big top merchandise vendors and to the left of the official merchandise trailers) from noon to 5 p.m. on May 23 and from noon to 4 p.m. on May 24. Fans are encouraged to stop by the booth with their pets to have their family photos taken.

Newman: Victory Closer

The first edition of the Pit Road Pets book will be on sale at the Pit Road Pets booth from noon to 4 p.m. on May 22 for a special discounted price of $18, which is a savings of $7.
