INDUSTRY EVENTS slide through the hairpin. It’s a truly awesome display of seemingly untameable power, brought under control through sheer skill. The main attraction, of course, was watching Colin Braun take the No. 16 3M Ford Fusion around the track at dizzying speed. But the excitement didn’t end there. Braun was also available for autographs, and guests of 3M got a chance to see his car up close. Even more exciting, 3M was able to arrange guided pit tours for their customers, as part of the Hairpin Village package. Until you’ve been down in the pit, you haven’t seen NASCAR.
