Judy D Knows Nashville!
A Friend & Foodie Shares Her Picks
We met Judy Diethelm on a trip to the 2009 MLB All-Star game. She works for BLU MOON Group and is at many races. She's a fellow foodie and shares a few of her favorites with SpeedEats.com
CAMP IS TRUE VICTORY
Erica and I got the chance, with NASCAR.com, to visit Victory Junction Camp in Randleman, NC last week. Kyle Petty and Rutledge Wood were great hosts and showed us behind the scenes at this special place. That day Dale Earnhardt Jr made a significant contribution and they broke ground for a new Ampitheater. If you haven't been to Victory Junction, you need to go. Go to their site to see how you can donate your time or make a donation. It's Disneyworld for Special Needs children.

A sunny day in Charlotte, NC calls for outdoor dining at The Flying Saucer. This beauty is called a "Bratzel." It is a homemade pretzel with sliced Unsinger Bratwurst, green onions and cheese. Yumm!
r a c e e a t r e p e a t
Kyle Petty has won 8-career NASCAR Sprint Cup races and is currently a broadcaster for TNT, SPEED and NASCAR.com. Kyle is what we like to call a "foodie." You can often see KP and his buddy, Speed's Rutledge Wood, hitting local places to eat wherever the racing road takes them. Kyle's biggest passion in life is for special needs children. He and his wife Patti created Victory Junction Camp in Randleman, NC and have dedicated their life to creating a fun and safe environment for the children.

MD's PICK
The Gerst Haus
German Food in the heartland of Country Music? Really? The answer is yes. Last year I sat a the bar, eating top-quality German food while watching the Stanley Cup finals. This place is a treat. I ordeded the Sausage Combination Platter which includes Bratwurst, Knackwurst, Smoked Mett Ring, Berliner Mett, and link of Kielbase. AWESOME.
