Although it’s not exactly one giant “tweet” for mankind, it is one small step for Dennis Bickmeier to become the fan-friendliest track president in all of motorsports. This week, Richmond International Raceway’s president joined the Twitterverse, where he is known as @RIRprez.
Launching his Twitterdom with a simple but playful, “A little birdie told me this Twitter thing is catching on. Now what? Help me out RIR Fans!,” Bickmeier wants to have one-on-one dialogue with @NASCAR fans, drivers and media about #NASCAR, as well as sports, current events and whatever happens to be #trending.
“Even before I became president at Richmond International Raceway, one of my favorite things about working at other racing facilities was the opportunity to talk with fans on a personal level,” said Bickmeier. “This will serve as another platform for me to interact with everyone outside of race weekend. I can maintain a dialogue throughout the entire year with our awesome fans and hopefully plenty of followers.”
Bickmeier, with the help of @RIRInsider, garnered nearly 100 followers on his first day and is excited to grow that number exponentially.
Stay up to date with Dennis (@RIRprez) and Richmond International Raceway (@RIRInsider) for all the latest and greatest news, events and what Bickmeier had for lunch.
