Who woulda thunk it--Randy Moss involved in NASCAR?
{quote]Johnson to drive for Moss in No. 81 truck at Bristol
Will also drive Watkins Glen Nationwide race for Junior
Jimmie Johnson is teaming up with Randy Moss in the Truck Series.
Johnson will make his debut in the series on Aug. 20 at Bristol Motor Speedway driving Moss Motorsports' No. 81 Chevrolet.
"I have never run a Truck race, so it should be fun," Johnson said. "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, who plays football for the New England Patriots, purchased 50 percent of Morgan-Dollar Motorsports and renamed the team Moss Motorsports just in time for the race at Kentucky Speedway. The team also switched from No. 46 to No. 81, Moss' uniform number.[/quote]

Even though Johnson (who has said that he supports John McCain) has never driven a Craftsman Truck in NASCAR, they handle a lot like the Sprint Cup cars, so it shouldn't be a problem for him.
