Kurt Johnson to offer the Pro Stock Perspective on the Powershift XM
radio show 

 

Sugar Hill, Ga., February 5, 2008 - This weekend, Kurt Johnson and his
ACDelco Cobalt Racing team will launch their pursuit of the 2008 NHRA
POWERade Pro Stock championship at the Carquest Auto Parts
Winternationals in Pomona, CA.  It is a daunting, year-long task,
requiring two separate multi-race charges - first to qualify for the
Countdown to One, and then another to challenge for the title.  Armed
with a new car that has shown potential in limited pre-season action,
the red, white and blue crew is ready to race.

 

However, before he takes to the track on Thursday, KJ will embark on
another endeavor, that of being a regular contributor to the Powershift
XM Satellite radio show. Beginning with tonight's edition (Tuesday,
February 5), the 36-race winner and perennial championship contender
will be calling in prior to each NHRA national event to offer his take
on the latest happenings in the world of the "factory hot rods."

 

Hosted by Joe Castello with sidekick Tommy Noodles, Powershift is a
two-hour show covering all forms of motorsports, and features a lively
blend of interviews, commentary and audience interaction.  Powershift
airs weeknights at 8:00 p.m. (Eastern) on the XM Sports Nation channel
144.
