Special from Josh Hobson Racing
Josh Hobson enters ‘The Rowdy 251’
$15,000-to-win event at Berlin Raceway
Kyle Busch, Johnny Benson Jr., Bubba
Pollard and other stars entered CRA Super Series June 21st special
Birch Run, MI – The youngster
Josh Hobson who is competing in his first full time stock car racing
season, is set to make his biggest career start. Josh Hobson Racing (JHR)
has announced their entry into the third annual Rowdy 251 at the
Berlin Raceway in Marne, Michigan.
The
CRA
Super Series sanctioned showdown will take place on Tuesday night,
June 21, following the NASCAR race weekend at the Michigan
Internationally Speedway. The 251-lap race will become both the first,
and longest Champion Racing Association Super Series event Hobson will
participate in to date.
The race, which is named for NASCAR
stand out Kyle Busch, is the largest template late model event in the
Midwest and amongst the biggest anywhere in the nation. Busch himself,
along with fellow former NASCAR Champion Johnny Benson Jr. are both
entered to compete. Other big names include Chase Elliott, Ross
Kenseth, Ryan Blaney, Brian Ickler, Tim Steele, Brian Campbell, John
VanDoorn, Andy Ponstein, Hunter Robbins and Chris Anthony are amongst
the over 40 entries.
Hobson participated in several super
late model events in 2009 and 2010, before moving full time to Berlin
Raceway in a Sundrop Citrus Soda sponsored Super Stock for car owner
Rodney Beach in 2011. JHR has also entered and brought home two top-10
finishes in the new Premier Boyne Machine Super Lates series at Berlin
earlier this season, which has enabled the team to gain valuable
knowledge to race in The Rowdy 251.
Support from Boyne Machine, XLT
Engineering, American Dumpster Service, Dome Corporation, TrackTek and
Capital Granite have all helped to enable Josh Hobson Racing to enter
the #10 Ford Fusion in this prestigious event. JHR is still in search
of additional marketing partners for the race as well as the remainder
of the 2011 season. For more information on JHR, please visit
