How Football and Racing Collide

Randy Moss on Tuesday showed he can attract big-time talent to his Craftsman Truck team by naming Jimmie Johnson his driver for the Aug. 20 race at Bristol.
Johnson, the two-time defending Spint Cup champion, will run in the No. 81 Randy Moss Motorsports Chevy Silverado. Moss wears 81 for the New England Patriots.
“I have never run a truck race so it should be fun,” the Boston Herald quoted Johnson as saying. “Heck, my brother Jarit has run more than me, but it’s going to be a good time. I’m excited to run Randy’s truck. Hopefully we can get them a good finish.”
Moss’ team debuted July 19 at Kentucky, with driver Willie Allen finishing 15th.
And I’m going to take my team of moving trucks to the track and challenge them to a duel! Football players getting into racing is like actors wanting to become singers…you wonder if it’s going to work out.
