Johanna Long NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Advance
Nashville Superspeedway
Race: Lucas Deep Clean 200
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series: 12 of 25
Track: Nashville Superspeedway
Johanna Long and the No. 20 Panhandle Grading & Paving Toyota Tundra team did not travel to Iowa Speedway for last week’s race but will return to NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) action on Friday, July 22 in the Lucas Deep Clean 200 at Nashville Superspeedway. Live television coverage of the race will begin on SPEED at 7:00 pm CDT, with radio coverage beginning at 6:45 pm CDT on MRN Radio.
Nashville Superspeedway – This will be Long’s third trip to Nashville Superspeedway, as she previously raced at the 1.33-mile oval in 2010 for Billy Ballew Motorsports and earlier this year for family-owned Panhandle Motorsports.
Johanna’s Take – “It was really hard on my team and me to have to stay home from Iowa, but sitting that race out allowed us to better prepare for Nashville and Indianapolis. We’re going to come back strong, and I’m really looking forward to getting back on the track this weekend.”
No. 20 Panhandle Grading & Paving Toyota Tundra – Long will be racing chassis No. 04 at Nashville Superspeedway on Friday. The Panhandle Motorsports crew prepared this truck earlier this season, and Long last raced it at the Lebanon, Tenn. track in April.
Marketing Opportunities – Long and the No. 20 Panhandle Motorsports team are currently seeking marketing partners for the 2011 NCWTS season. For more information on sponsorship opportunities, please contact Spire Sports + Entertainment or Panhandle Motorsports.
