Default Billy Johnson racing in NASCAR at Watkins Glen

Hey guys,

I will be racing in the NASCAR Nationwide series in the Roush Fenway Racing (RFR) #6 Ford Fusion at Watkins Glen - August 7th.


I've been living in Moorsville (Charlotte, NC) area for the past 3-4 months now working at the Cup shop learning how the cars are built and working on them as well. I just had a successful test at Road Atlanta yesterday in the Nationwide car and am really looking forward to the race.


The race will be aired LIVE on ESPN at 1:30pm. Be sure to catch it!




Billy

Thanks guys. It will be the old body style (as pictured). The Nationwide Car Of Tomorrow (COT) is only doing super speedway races this year but will do the full season next year for 2011.

Good luck! I will be watching and cheering you on tomorrow.

That was some bad luck spinning out in the grass covered bus stop as ESPN was speaking positively about how you made it to that level of racing.

Must have been tough having a microphone shoved in your face after the incident. You handled yourself well.

Awesome! I was watching qualifying now and saw your name and thought, oh shit, he is on s2ki. Sure enough, I was right.

That was some bad luck getting caught up in the big track blocking wreck in the esses.

Any chance of getting more seat time in the car?
