This Week’s Chevrolet – The No. 70 Foretravel Motorcoach team will bring chassis No. 63 to Bristol Motor Speedway. Chassis No. 63 was last utilized on August 4 at Iowa Speedway, where the 20-year-old rookie battled inside the top-20 for the majority of the 200-lap event, and secured a strong 13th-place finish.
Bristol Motor Speedway – Long and the ML Motorsports team last visited Bristol Motor Speedway on March 17. The team struggled to find a balance and combination to the car that was both comfortable and fast, leading them to a 29th-place finish. After coming off of several strong performances at various short tracks this season, Long and the ML Motorsports team are ready for revenge this Friday night under the lights at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Meet Johanna – Fans will have the opportunity to meet Johanna during the Food City Race Night driver appearance at the Knoxville Expo Center on Wednesday, August 22. Johanna will meet the fans and sign autographs from 6-7 p.m.
The young driver has a couple of appearances scheduled for Thursday, August 23 in Downtown Bristol, TN on State Street. She will stop by the Shell-E Shelter Dog tent to meet with fans and sign autographs from 5:15-5:45 p.m. She will then head over to the Food City Race Night driver autograph session from 6-7 p.m.
Johanna on Driving at Bristol Motor Speedway: “Short-track racing is like home to me, so I always get excited when I am able to get back to my roots on a fun track like Bristol. I have a lot of unfinished business here because I didn’t get the run or finish that I had hoped for back in March. After getting some seat time and experience under my belt this season, I feel strongly about a big turnaround here this Friday. Our team has continued to progress week in and week out, and I hope to continue the momentum and progression here at Bristol Motor Speedway.”
