The next stop on our whirlwind NASCAR tour was Gillett-Evernham Motorsports in Statesville, NC.  There was, unfortunately, no round 2 sighting of Kasey (click here to recall round 1).  GEM is probably one of the most up close and personal shops we visited, though.  As you can see by looking at my photos, the cars being worked on in the shop are very close to the viewing area and the work space is rather small (compared to some of the other shops we visited).  This allows viewers to get a good look at the goings on.  Also, I believe GEM is the only shop we visited where we got to see the COT template.
