Jimmie 'n Randy teaming up for Truck Series race at Bristol



Randy Moss has a seriously big name driver for his truck team Aug. 20 in the O’Reilly 200 at Bristol.

Jimmie Johnson will make his debut in the Craftsman Truck Series in the #81 Kobalt Tools Silverado.

Yes, that’s THE Jimmie Johnson, two-time, defending Sprint Cup Series champion.

OK, I’m impressed. The fleet-footed, sure-handed, high-leaping one has one of the the sport’s top drivers in his truck, with a sponsor. Lowe’s does has a vendors contract with Kobalt, and Jimmie and Chad made those really funny commercials for the tool company.

Before you get too excited, remember, Jimmie doesn’t race trucks and Jimmie hasn’t raced trucks. Anything could happen.


But this will get Randy Moss Motorsports some serious face time with the media and camera shots during the race.

So, tip of the hat, er ball cap, to Randy.
