Josh McGuire and U. S. Steel Team Up Once Again for Speedweeks 2012

GRAYSON, Ky. (January 13) - With "Speedweeks 2012" rapidly approaching, Josh McGuire and the United States Steel Corporation reached an agreement today that will send the Grayson, Kentucky driver and his #41 Dirt Late Model team south to Georgia and Florida next month. Josh and U. S. Steel have been marketing partners on two other occasions recently - one for the 2010 'USA Nationals' at Cedar Lake (WI) Speedway and the other for last year's 'Dirt Track World Championship at Atomic (OH) Speedway. The partnership has been very successful in the past and both parties are looking forward to debuting the U. S. Steel #41 MasterSbilt on February 10-11 at Screven Motor Speedway in Sylvania, Georgia.

"Once again, it is an honor to work with U. S. Steel, Scott Coleman, and their team of employees and I look forward to representing them at Screven and East Bay during Speedweeks," exclaimed McGuire earlier today via telephone. "We have enjoyed a great relationship in the past and marketing their brand in new markets in Georgia and Florida will be a lot of fun. I had my mind made up that we weren't going to Speedweeks this year, but Scott (Coleman) approached me with a great opportunity to work with U. S. Steel once again. We will hit Screven and East Bay for sure and if things go well and our equipment is still in good shape, we may head over to Volusia as well."

The 'Winter Freeze' at Screven will be the first race of the season for the Josh McGuire Racing (JMR) team on February 10-11. The lid lifter for the World of Outlaws Late Model Series will pay $20,000 to the winner. Following Screven, the #41 team will venture to East Bay Raceway Park in Gibsonton, Florida for the annual running of the 'Winternationals.' Six Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series programs will be held at the Tampa area venue from February 13-18 with winning purses varying from $5,000 to $10,000.
