Joe making a special delivery to David Ragan
This past weekend at Infineon Raceway, Joe Wilborn, who works as a revenue supervisor in San Francisco was part of the UPS Trackside Services team. Joe took some time out of his busy schedule on race day to talk with UPS Racing about what he does both at and away from the track.
During a normal workweek, I work with the UPS sales force to help set up programs that best suit our customers needs. But when race time rolls around, I get to be a part of the Trackside Services team.
I’ve been coming out to the track working with Trackside for six years and I really like the group of people that I work with every year. We are busy all weekend making sure that all of our customers get the packages they need to have a successful weekend. I also like being around the cars and seeing the mechanics and all the behind-the-scenes of the race.
I’ve been a race fan since I was a little boy, and I remember cheering for Richard Petty when I was young. And then when racing got more televised, I remember cheering for Earnhardt, too. But now, ever since UPS got involved in the sport, I’ve always supported our driver.
When I’m not working, I spend time with my family. I have daughter who is six and a son who is two-and-a-half, so they keep me pretty busy. We’re encouraging them to get involved in sports and we try to get out to some of the ball games when we can.
On Wednesday last week, I was lucky enough to help deliver the trophy for the race in Sonoma with David Ragan. It was out of the ordinary and really cool to do. It was a good opportunity for UPS to help out the track and get our brand out in front of fans and customers.
