NASCAR-FMS: Touch of Texas and Joe Buchek Jr. Join Forces for 1999

14 March 1999

Johnson City NY-- When the 1999 Tioga Speedway opens on April 3rd, the half mile facility will have a Southwestern feel as it is announced that "Touch of Texas" will be aboard the NASCAR Modified of Joe Buchek Jr. for upcoming campaign. "Touch of Texas" is the Northeasts Largest Dance Club and Banquet Facility and is located in the Small Mall in Johnson City NY. The veteran driver is excited by the partnership and says, "We are very proud to have Touch of Texas as part of our team for this season. This gives our team the opportunity to be competitive each and every week at Tioga. With Touch of Texas on board, I honestly feel we are now a top five car for this season. We will concentrate our efforts on running at Tioga this year. We picked up our first heat race win last season, and this year we are looking for good things every time we take to the track!" Bucheks efforts will not be limited to raceday performances.

The 38-year old driver says, "We are going to attend as many car shows and make as many appearances as possible with the car so we can help Touch of Texas with exposure away from the track as well as raceday. We had a very positive response from racefans during Raceworld 99 and we think that this is a program that fans will have a lot of fun with this season." Not only has the team signed Touch of Texas as the teams primary sponsor, but Haun Welding Supply has also joined the team as an Associate Sponsor. Speed Zone, Exclusive Draperies, and Fowler Car Care Products return in their Associate Sponsor roles for 1999.
