I am excited that the Busch Series is moving forward and going to new cities. Our fans are from all over the country and they have a better chance of attending a race with all the new tracks being built." --Buckshot Jones, driver of the #00 Aquafresh Pontiac The #00 Aquafresh Racing Pontiac Grand Prix that will compete in the "Kenwood Home & Car Audio 300" is the same car that Jones finished fifth with at Michigan in August. Buckshot traveled to California a few days early to do some sightseeing with his family. "We are planning to go to all of the tourist hangouts while we are in California. Rodeo Drive, Hollywood and maybe even Disneyland are all on our list of places to go," Jones said. "We finished fifth in Michigan and although these two tracks are not exactly the same, they look to have some similarities," Jones said. "California looks to have a lot of racing room, like Michigan, and I like that in a track. We are looking forward to a fun week, a great race and hopefully an inaugural win."
