Johnny's Truck was unmistakable with the Diablo on the side. I wish I knew it going to be on, I would have liked to tape it.

They also did a nice piece on Mustangs, nice to see something on ESPN besides the Big Guys

Congratulations Johnny!

A 12.95 at 100 mph means he hit the brakes at the end. Had to for a 12.95 at ONLY 100.

What's next Johnny, stacks of hero cards and long lines at autograph sessions????

Maybe you and Sal can do the occasional Smackdown with Spiro as the Vince McMahon character/ref.

You need Speedy as your PR director

My people will call your people to schedule a lunch...

BfB- I don't know what is funny either. Maybe you don't understand that Johnny's truck is the black one with Diablo on the side. He was racing against a silver Lightning owned by RDY2RAC.
