Johanna Long will be back in the seat of the No. 70 ML Motorsports Chevrolet this Friday, July 6 for the Subway Jalapeno 250 powered by Coca-Cola. The NASCAR Nationwide Series event will be aired live on ESPN, with race coverage beginning at 7:00 pm EST.  The event can also be heard live on MRN Radio as well as Sirius Satellite Radio, channel 90.

Daytona International Speedway – Long had a strong NASCAR Nationwide Series debut with ML Motorsports at Daytona International Speedway back in February. After running competitively in the top-15 for the majority of the race, Long got caught up in a late-race incident with nowhere to go. Although she had damage to her No. 70 Foretravel Motorcoach Chevrolet, she was able to continue the race and register a 21st- place finish.

Wish For Our Heroes – Wish For Our Heroes was first launched in November 2009 and is dedicated to assisting the men and women of the United States active-duty military. The organization began with a goal of providing one wish for every deserving military member. The ML Motorsports team will grant a wish by having troops accompany them to the race on Friday. For more information on Wish for Our Heroes, you can visit their website at www.wishforourheroes.org.

Portable Shade – The No. 70 Chevrolet will also carry the Portable Shade decal for the remainder of the season. Portable Shade is located in Cocoa, Florida and is a supplier of outdoor branded foldaway shade products. For more information about Portable Shade, visit www.Portable-Shade.com.

This week’s Chevrolet Impala – The No. 70 Foretravel Motorcoach team will bring chassis No. 58 to Friday night’s event. Chassis No. 58 was last utilized on May 5 at Talladega Superspeedway where the team was running solidly in the top-15 position until they encountered engine overheating issues, which ended their race early.

Last Race Recap – Long and the ML Motorsports team are eager to race back-to-back weekends after coming off of a strong run at Kentucky Speedway last Friday. Long faced adversity early in the race as she took a spin during her qualifying effort sending her and the team to the rear of the field for the start of the 200-lap event. After starting the field in the 42nd position, Long raced smart and competitively throughout the race while registering another top-20 finish.

Meet Johanna – Long will be participating in the NASCAR Nationwide Series driver autograph session this Friday, July 6 from 4:30-5:30 pm ET; located in the Sprint FanZone.
