Recap: Trifecta of Guests Included Letarte, Majors And Miss Sprint Cup

This post is sponsored by Amp Energy.

This week had a few "firsts" for the AmpUpThe88.com video chat, including the first chat in front of a live audience and the first time the chat has had multiple guests.

Originating from the Hendrick Motorsports tweetup at the Hendrick Museum, fans had the opportunity to ask questions of three guests: No. 24 team crew chief Steve Letarte, No. 88 team spotter T.J. Majors and even Miss Sprint Cup, Monica Palumbo.

The trifecta of appearances were part of the weekly Amp chat, which features a special guest or a member of the 88 team each week. The chats can be found on AmpUpThe88.com, where fans can also enter daily sweeps for autographed Dale Earnhardt Jr. items and view an "Off The Track" video blog.

Highlights from the chat included:

• Letarte addressing a question about Jeff Gordon needing to improve on restarts
• Majors bringing his one-week old baby girl to participate in the chat
• Miss Sprint Cup discussing what's next for her when her reign ends after this season
• Letarte saying why fans can ignore the first part of the 600 this week
• Majors discussing how he helps Earnhardt Jr. at road courses

And there were plenty more. To view the chat, visit the complete archive by clicking here (will be posted later today).

Next week on the Amp chat, JR Motorsports director of communication Mike Davis will be the special guest. The chat will take place at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, June 2.
