         BUCKSHOT JONES NOTES & QUOTES: KENWOOD HOME & CAR AUDIO 300

 
FONTANA, CA - "California was designed with the same configurations as 
Michigan and I enjoy driving at that track. I am excited that the Busch 
Series is moving forward and going to new cities. Our fans are from all over 
the country and they have a better chance of attending a race with all the new
tracks being built." --Buckshot Jones, driver of the #00 Aquafresh Pontiac

The #00 Aquafresh Racing Pontiac Grand Prix that will compete in the "Kenwood
Home & Car Audio 300" is the same car that Jones finished fifth with at
Michigan in August.

Buckshot traveled to California a few days early to do some sightseeing with
his family. "We are planning to go to all of the tourist hangouts while we are
in California. Rodeo Drive, Hollywood and maybe even Disneyland are all on our
list of places to go," Jones said.

"We finished fifth in Michigan and although these two tracks are not exactly
the same, they look to have some similarities," Jones said.

"California looks to have a lot of racing room, like Michigan, and I like that
in a track. We are looking forward to a fun week, a great race and hopefully
an inaugural win."
