PHOENIX -- NASCAR fans who want to experience owning their own race team have only two days remaining to bid on the Best Western “Fan Swap” – an opportunity to “swap” jobs for a day with two-time Daytona 500 winner Michael Waltrip. The highest bid for this one-of-a-kind auction, organized by Best Western International, The Official Hotel of NASCAR, and Michael Waltrip Racing, is currently $3,150.

The winner of the Best Western “Fan Swap” auction, which ends Thursday, Sept. 18 at 8 p.m. EDT, will travel to Charlotte, N.C., and swap jobs with Waltrip for the day, and see first-hand the inner workings of the Michael Waltrip race team.

The winner will also sit shotgun in a racecar as it thunders around the track at more than 180 miles per hour. In return, Waltrip will travel to the winning bidder’s hometown and work as they would for an afternoon.

The complete “Fan Swap” package includes:

• Roundtrip airfare to Charlotte, lodging and local transportation;

• VIP experience at Raceworld USA, the headquarters of Michael Waltrip Racing;

• Attendance at a live taping of Michael Waltrip’s XM Satellite Radio show;
