The following message has been issued via POISON frontman BRET MICHAELS' official MySpace page:
"Bret got a chance to hang out and tour Bristol Motor Speedway before his appearance in Bristol this weekend. The folks at Bristol allowed Bret to drive the official pace car around the track.It was an awesome time and Bret summed up the trip by stating, "I'm not leaving 'till race day!"
The photos have been added to the Candid Photos album for your viewing."
A previous message reads: "Having been a Juvenile Diabetic since the age of 6, Bret is always trying to help others learn more about their disease and how they can manage it. Bret helps fund children to attend diabetic camps every year. With 2010 quickly approaching, it is time to start the search for youths to send this year. These camps are very valuable to Juvenile Diabetics and are a great way to help them realize they are not alone in their battle. In these tough economic times, it can be very difficult for parents to get children to these camps. So if you know of a deserving child & would like to submit them for consideration, please email mailroom@bretmichaels.com with a subject line of 'Diabetic Camp'. Please include contact info & the suggested camp location.
Thank you!"
