We Love Racing Too! is an innovative new racing oriented company owned and operated by women. "Our main goal is to bring together NASCAR fans in an atmosphere that's fun and relaxing while at the same time gaining first hand knowledge, information and an in-depth look at NASCAR and Winston Cup Racing," owner Kimberly Lenehan said.

We Love Racing Too! plans to hold an event at every track during the 2002 season.VIP speakers such as drivers, sponsors, team owners, crew chiefs, track officials, pit crew members and Winston Cup officials will be scheduled for a question-and-answer session at each event. All sessions will be held at the various tracks in their Hospitality Villages.

We Love Racing Too! will also collaborate with Greyhounds - Pets of America. To help raise money for the rescue and adoption of retired/wounded dogs, We Love Racing Too! will sponsor a raffle of autographed items signed by the VIP guest at each track. Proceeds will be forwarded to Pets of America, a non-profit organization.

Some of the dogs available for adoption will be present for an up close and personal introduction with fans at the tracks. Paperwork for adoptions will be available at each event. Tony Stewart and Derrick Cope are among the drivers who have already adopted some of these fast dogs.
