Where in the world is Charlie Kimball?

Yes, it's time to play that game... 'Where in the world is Charlie Kimball?' I'll be on the road for the next week or so which means some strategic packing is necessary.

Tomorrow I'll head overseas to Madrid, Spain for a speaking engagement with Novo Nordisk. I'm always humbled to have the opportunity to represent Novo Nordisk, and to be in front of an international audience is really cool. I'll do my best to brush up on my Spanish on the plane!

I'll go straight from Madrid to Birmingham for the media day and open test at Barber Motorsports Park. I'm really looking forward to two full days of testing in the No. 83 NovoLog FlexPen car. I think the whole Novo Nordisk Chip Ganassi Racing team is syncing very well--from the engineers, to the crew, to team managers and beyond. We have high expectations going into the 2013 season, and I think with consistent, hard work, we'll be successful.

After we wrap up testing on Wednesday, I'll head out of town again for a couple of media opportunities. Stay tuned and I'll let you know when you can catch me live!

If the non-stop travel doesn't signify the beginning of the IndyCar season, than the last episode of #TheOffseason definitely does! Enjoy.
