  Uncle Joe Benson at work & play at the California Speedway NASCAR race - February 2006. Since its opening in 1997, Joe Benson has been the voice of the California Speedway. In that role, he handles various master of ceremonies duties, as well as play-by-play announcing. February 24 - 26, 2006: Talk about kicking things off in high gear! J.B. started the NASCAR Nextel Cup Automobile Club 500 at the California Speedway with a Friday afternoon broadcast of his 95.5 KLOS show, joined by famed Southern California driver Robby Gordon and NASCAR announcing legend Jim Mueller. Then J.B. spent Saturday and Sunday bouncing around everywhere interviewing drivers and talking with race fans at the first big NASCAR race of the regular season. Wild times indeed!
