Butler University mascots Butler Blue II and Butler Blue III visited the team owned by Butler graduate Ed Carpenter for a preseason pep talk as part of their Big Dawgs Tour.
While Carpenter and the Fuzzy's Vodka racing team heads to St. Petersburg on Thursday, the Butler men's basketball team will be competing in Lexington, Ky., in the second round of the NCAA Basketball Tournament against Bucknell.
"It would be tough to sit out going the NCAA games this weekend with Butler back in the tournament," said Carpenter, a regular at Butler's Hinkle Fieldhouse during the basketball season. "But it's time to go racing. I'm excited for the season to begin this weekend. It seems like a long time ago since we won that season finale at Fontana (MAVTV500 on Sept. 15). But you know I will be with the Bulldogs in spirit this weekend. I wish Coach (Brad) Stevens, his staff and the team all of the best Thursday afternoon."
