Florida native, Fain Skinner will pilot Rick Ware Racing’s #41 Carport Empire Ford Mustang on Saturday night for the running of the Kroger 200 at the Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis.
Skinner, who has competed in the late model divisions in his home state of Florida looks to show the NASCAR fans why he was a threat each and every week for the past seven years, when it came to short track racing.
Making his NASCAR Nationwide Series debut, Skinner understands that patience is key. “I got the opportunity to watch the RWR team at Daytona and got a great understanding of how patience plays a key in the race when it comes to the Nationwide Series. The races are longer and if you can be patient to the end, you give yourself a fighting chance, and that’s all that you can ask for.”
Owner Rick Ware is excited to have Skinner on board. “Fain is a great driver who we are proud to give the chance to showcase. He has won everything is there is to win in his divisions and we know he is a great fit with our organization of young, talented drivers and when we tested with him he confirmed our excitement.”
Carport Empire, the sponsor on Skinner’s #41, is one of the largest distributors of quality carports, carport garages, steel buildings and RV carports in the United States and currently offers installation in all 48 continental states. With a wide variety of metal and steel buildings, their products can handle any situation much like racing at the Lucas Oil Raceway.
“I am thrilled to have Carport Empire on board for my NASCAR debut. We have been great partners throughout my career and for them to have faith in my ability is a big boost and I am looking forward to continuing their presence with me and RWR for a long time,” stated Skinner.
Action begins on Saturday, July 30th with practice at 10:00am, qualifying at 4:35pm and the race is slated to start at 7:30pm

Before making any constructional changes in your house, it is imperative to have the complete knowledge to the constructional process. This will give you a better idea of the kind of structure you want to make, and how to utilize the space both within and around it. Getting carports constructed is no different. There are various queries that come into your mind regarding the type of construction.
First, you have to decide the type of carport you want to get constructed. This depends on the dynamics of your house. It is very important to judge whether your selection goes with other construction work in your house. The installer cannot bolt the carport to any house, but they can install at a location closest to your house. You can choose a variety of carports for a single car. This includes car canopies, barns with roof line, lean to building carports and utility carports, steel garages, steel barns or even metal carports. You can also choose to construct a steel building or metal building which will eliminate the chance of robbery amongst other things. All these designs are applicable for multiple cars. In addition to this, we also make RV covers.
The first question that arises after ordering a carport is the delivery time. Carports are normally delivered in a period of 1 to 4 weeks, depending on your location. Once the parts arrive, construction work for the carport is initiated. While pouring concrete is kept one foot shorter than the roof length, the height the structure depends on the kind of vehicle you want to park, but it cannot exceed 14 feet. We can also adjust the height of legs if the ground is not leveled up to 3 inches. The roof pitch is normally kept standard at 3 feet 2 inches. You have the liberty to decide the width of the garage. However, it is to be kept in mind that the length of the carport is always one foot shorter that the roof height.
Carports have gained the status of a necessity in our houses. They also help in improving the look of our home. We can also treat these garages as partial stores. It also provides a safe place for our children to play in. when you drive into a carport, it gives you a homely satisfaction. It gives you a feeling that you are safe. Carports are an essential part our homes, without which we always have a feeling of something missing from our lives.

Get a Triple-Sized Carport
If you have the room on your property, consider getting a triple-sized carport. You will receive more for your money. Carports are great alternatives to garages. Protect your vehicle for less money through the purchase of a carport. Additionally, carports serve other functions than mere covers for your vehicles.
How many vehicles do you own? Do you have children? Someday they will have their license and may get a car of their own, increasing the number of vehicles needing protection. Triple-sized carports can protect three or more vehicles depending on their size. Most families have more than one car these days. Even if you own a garage, you may use it for storage or there may not be enough room in it to store more than one car. A large-sized carport is the answer to your vehicle storage issues.
A carport not only houses a car, but it serves as a shaded space on your property. Does your family like to entertain? Would you like a space on your lot where you can dine outside? A carport can serve as a great setting for entertaining and eating outdoors. Purchase an outdoor dining set and enjoy dinners amidst nature with your family. A large-sized carport enables you to fit your vehicles and still leaves space available to establish a picnic table and chairs!
Do you have other vehicles such as tractors or motorcycles? Store them all under your large-sized carport. Otherwise, you may have to leave them under the naked sky where they are susceptible to severe weather such as snow, heavy rain, and intense sunlight. Make one purchase and ensure all your vehicles and equipment are protected.
Consider buying big and getting a triple-sized carport. The price difference is not a lot more, yet you gain the room to store more cars and acquire shaded space to dine and entertain. In the case of carports, more is better. Check out our triple-sized models now!

What about DIY Carports?
Here at CarportEmpire.com, we not only supply carports, but we install them for our customers. It is possible for consumers to attain a DIY carport kit. If you are thinking about tackling a project yourself, it makes sense to think about professional installation first.
Price can be a major factor for consumers. We are proud to offer financing options to our customers regardless of their credit situation. Other retailers may deny a consumer financing, forcing them to reconsider their purchase decision or making it more tempting to buy a carport of a lesser price or a DIY kit. We have a long range of carport options ranging in prices. We think it is unfortunate for any consumer to miss an opportunity to gain an item due to financial circumstances.
Experience is another factor to consider. Some people have rich experience with DIY projects; whether they work with their hands for a living, have seen a carport installed before, or have a knack for putting things together, it may be easier for some to address the project themselves. Most people feel more comfortable letting professionals handle the ordeal. Such a decision ensures the job is done quickly and efficiently. What would happen if the carport was self-installed incorrectly and the faulty construction caused harm to a home, vehicle, or person? It is much easier to have our experienced professionals come out and perform the task for you. This saves you sweat, time, and the anxiety as to whether it was installed properly.
Do-it-yourself projects take time. Are you willing to sacrifice your precious free time to assemble your carport? Most people work forty hours or more during the week and have little time to devote to themselves and their family. Could your spare time be better used with your family rather than on installing your carport? We have been doing this for years and can most likely get the job done in a shorter period of time than our customers.
Lastly, DIY carport kits don’t always come with a professional’s point of view. We take care of our customers at CarportEmpire.com. Our professionals can discuss your choice with you and let you know if you have chosen something that is best for your needs and property. Other DIY kit retailers sell you their product and leave the rest up to you. We provide you with much more care and expertise.
Think about the above information if you are pondering whether to install a carport on your own. We offer products at great prices and make customer satisfaction a top priority. Let our professionals do the job for you so you can rest assured that the job is done right.
