Wilmington television station WECT will be sending a camera crew out to the new 21,000 square foot race shop team owner Scott Griffin opened last week to do a television feature on the new facility. WECT Sports Director Bob Bonner is interested in showing Wilmington viewers the high-tech, state of the art shop that is also houses the business offices of Scott Griffin Motorsports.

"We're getting a lot of attention...winning a race has that effect," Griffin said. "We're excited about increasing the awareness of our unique team as our fan base grows. The John Boy and Billy show is always a lot of fun and Bob Bonner is one of the most respected television journalists in North Carolina. We're looking forward to these appearances."
