Default Billy Johnson going to drive NASCAR!!!

Billy Johnson (Time Attack) will be racing in the NASCAR Nationwide series in the Roush Fenway Racing (RFR) #6 Ford Fusion at Watkins Glen - August 7th.
The race will be aired LIVE on ESPN at 1:30pm.

Billy drove my Z at the Ultimate Street car challenge and top car challenge and currently drives a mustang in the Grand-Am race series for Roush Racing.. and the FXMD NSX in the Redline/Super Lap Battle Time attack series..

taken from http://www.trackhq.com/forums/f314/b...ins-glen-3328/

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.



this is billy & me..

Billy seems like a genuinely good dude.....He posts quite a bit on trackhq. Him and rousch jr have really been doing great thus far in the continental series.

Hope he has the best of luck! From what I've seen he does seem like a genuine good guy.

Haha, i've always been told that since I was a kid, but Jack Roush doesn't like my name.

The day I met Mr. Roush, he told me that my name is not going to work and it's not aggressive enough. He calls me "Johnson". Just, Johnson. lol.

Nice, have to watch this one. Kind of boring driving in a circle for 3 hours

Well, I NEVER watch Nascar, but I watched this one. You were doing great until that wreck. Must have been a little scary ending up with another car sitting on top of your windshield!!!!!!!!
BTW, it looks like there is hardly any run off at that track - the barriers all look really close. Driving "The Glen" was one of my "bucket list" tracks, but the combination of such a fast track with so little run-off makes me think twice!
