NILES - The community of Niles will get a chance to get up close and personal with the sport of NASCAR when the #99 car of driver Carl Edwards comes to Niles May 21.
The Niles branch of AAA insurance will be bringing the car along with a driving simulator.
Rasler added with this event AAA is hoping to get the word out about the services they offer, as well as about the sport of NASCAR for those who aren't familiar with it.
Croteau added that if all goes well with this event, then they will try and have another one next year.
The DDA-Main Street is still looking for businesses or members of the community to sponsor the cars in the simulator. The sponsored car will be decorated to look like an authentic NASCAR with the businesses logo on it.
For more information on becoming a sponsor contact Lisa Croteau at the DDA-Main Street at (269) 687-4332.
