"We're looking forward to a very competitive season in both the NASCAR K&N Pro Series and the United Speed Alliance Racing Series," Johnson said. "At least four events are in conjunction with NASCAR Nationwide races, and seven of our races will be at NASCAR tracks."

"We are especially excited that Aug. 27, during the Legion National Convention in Minneapolis, we will be racing at Elko Speedway less than an hour from the convention city," Johnson said.
