Leonard; Boca Bay Racing Give Back To Owens Corning In Toledo

Leonard;  Boca  Bay Racing Give Back   
To  Owens Corning In Toledo 

Toledo,  Ohio  - - ARCA  RE/MAX Series Rookie-of-the-Year contender Johnny 
Leonard knows all about giving  back. Last year, four hurricanes swept through 
his home state of Florida causing devastation for hundreds of miles  including 
his home city of Cape  Coral. 
Leonard,  owner of Affordable Roofing began the rebuilding process 
immediately following  one of mother’s nature’s deadliest threats but he didn’t do it 
alone.  Owens Corning, one of the largest  shingles providers for roofing 
companies in the United States  dug deep and helped Leonard give back to his 
community. 
“We  are one of Owens Corning’s largest clients,�?? explained the driver of 
the No. 13  Boca Bay Builders-Affordable Roofing Chevrolet Monte Carlo.  “They 
helped me around the clock  supplying the materials to repair the roofs of the 
hurricane victims, now it’s  time to give back to them.�?? 
While  Leonard’s roofing operation has finally caught up from the 
devastation, they  must prepare for this season’s possible threats, but the Boca Bay 
Racing team  along with Leonard plan to honor Owens Corning’s help from last year 
by placing  their decals on the No. 13 Chevrolet Monte Carlo this weekend.   
“It’s  not much, but I really appreciate what they have done for us,�?? said  
Leonard.  “Even now after the  hurricanes have passed, Owens Corning is still 
our largest supplier. We are  using them for our every day jobs and even the 
new constructions with Boca Bay  Builders, I’m excited to see their logo on our 
car this  weekend.�?? 
Owens  Corning will serve in the rear quarter TV panels this weekend along 
with taking  one of Leonard’s in-car camera shots for the fifth event of the 
season on  Sunday. 
“We  hope that Owens Corning truly understands that they were a part in 
helping  everyone recover from the hurricanes and hope they are able to enjoy the  
exposure they’ll receive this weekend,�?? concluded Leonard. 
The  Hantz Group 200 is the fifth of 23 events on the 2005 ARCA RE/MAX Series 
 schedule. An optional practice begins Saturday from 3:00pm to 5:00pm.  
Another practice session is scheduled for Sunday May 22nd in the  morning with
