The location for this is at a Walmart in Smyrna, Tennessee where Rowdy Energy will be giving a demo. However, one fan was a bit miffed that the offer is only for 100 people on a first come first serve basis. According to him, it was a ‘big jerk’ move, especially since someone like Richard Petty would sign everyone’s merchandise.
