NASCAR drivers take on Chesapeake Bay
Caught in the Catchfence™NASCAR Nationwide Series drivers Brendan Gaughan – driver of the No. 62 South Point Hotel and Casino Chevrolet – and Scott Wimmer – driver of the No. 40 Chevrolet –went from behind the wheel to behind the reel April 7 off the coast of Virginia Beach, Va. In the area to promote the Lipton Tea 250 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Richmond International Raceway on Friday, May 1, the drivers had an adventurous excursion in the Chesapeake Bay.
“We had an exciting day,” Wimmer said. “We got to go out in the Chesapeake Bay. Richmond International Raceway put on a great program here. We got to go out fishing and actually caught fish. That was pretty exciting, and I had a lot of fun doing it.”
“It was pretty neat,” Gaughan said. He is currently eighth in the NASCAR Nationwide Series point standings. “I’ve never been out in the Chesapeake Bay. It was a great time. We all caught plenty of sharks.”
Although Gaughan has done his fair share of angling, he’d like to add a new trophy to his collection.
