The NASCAR community has taken over Charlotte and the surrounding communities during race week. Wednesday night, Michael Waltrip and Joey Logano got things started for the Charlotte Knights minor league baseball team by throwing out the first pitch.

Before heading to the ballpark, Logano took to his Twitter account to determine the type of pitch he would throw.

Throwing out the 1st pitch at the @KnightsBaseball game tonight. What pitch should I throw? RT for curve ball Favorite for knuckle ball

He then met some of the players who would take on the Norfolk Tide later in the night.

During the game, Waltrip even put his broadcasting skills to use.
