Son of NASCAR Legend Wins in New Jersey

  This weekend in New Jersey there is more racing action going on than at just the usual spots. While New Egypt, Bridgeport, and Wall all ran their usual Saturday night shows, there was also racing action going on at New Jersey Motorsports Park.
  The Rolex Grand-Am series is competing there this weekend, and brought with it several supporting series. It is in one, the Continental Tire Sports Car Series, that a name very familiar to NASCAR fans got a win in the Garden State today.
  Jack Roush Jr., son of the legendary NASCAR car owner, took home his third win of the season with Billy Johnson in the B+ Foundation Heroes 200 event.
  I am really surprised by the lack of press this race weekend is getting here in New Jersey. Not only are there names very familiar to race fans, like Boris Said, and Scott Pruett, but also a Hollywood star in Patrick Dempsey.
