Red Met Racer Chris Buescher at Walgreens | Giveaway

If you saw my announcement last week, you’ll know that Red and I were on our way to visit a local Walgreens in Atlanta and meet Nationwide Racing driver Chris Buescher. Now, I’ve been to my fair share of racing parties, and even placed a few bragging-rights wagers between friends, but I’ve never been able to meet a driver in person and ask them a bunch of questions! The moment we walked into Walgreens, I knew exactly who Chris was! A 22 year old, down to earth guy, Chris was so patient with Red, who climbed into his #RaceAroundAmerica chair and started playing with cars. Red even swiped a few high fives and was not shy at all! (He demanded that he wear his saddle oxfords and his jean jacket together… pick your battles, Lindsey). 
After shaking hands, we headed outside to sit in the brand-spanking new Balance Financial Ford Mustang, which has been upgraded (now in round 3) and sweetened by voters in the last few weeks. Click here to help choose the route and upgrade the Mustang! Red “drove” the car and honked the horn while Chris took some time to show us the upgrades and power inside the Roush Mustang. 
Then it was my turn to hop in.  We set the top down, and I was ready to roll (too bad I didn’t get to test drive!!)  Chris was really forthcoming about his racing experience. He started with motorcycles at age 6 (so young!!), and the first race his mother ever came to, he wiped out badly and was hurt.  His mom was so upset that the incident almost ended his racing hobby… but as you may know, he became a pro at 16 and has been sweeping the circuit ever since! I’m proud to say that I have met him.

Not only did I get to interview Chris and tour the Mustang, but we were also treated to an on-camera interview and a super fun shopping spree courtesy of Walgreens with Chris’ Balance Financial Walgreens card powered by Mastercard.  You can see the interview below; Parker (black dress & gray scarf) interviewing Chris (right hand side) as Red noisily munched on a snack.
Then it was Red and my turn to step in front of the camera with Chris. We “raced” around the store, grabbing a few necessities for the spring season (Wal-itin, Zest Soap, Cheez-its, Coca-Cola) and Chris handpicked a toy race car for Red to have.  It was so nice of him, and the toy car hasn’t let Red’s hands since!  I’ll be sharing the webisode in a blog post to come, so be sure to stop back by and see what else Chris bought!
Since we had such an awesome time with Roush Fenway driver Chris Buescher, Walgreens wants to treat you to some fun, too! Enter the rafflecopter giveaway below for your chance to with a $25 Walgreens gift card, as well as some hand picked and signed merchandise by Chris Buescher, all courtesy of Walgreens!

    What a great event! I’ve been moving more and more of my business over to Walgreens. Their customer service is just better than what I’ve seen at other places.
