Josh
Clemons Looking To Rekindle Sweet Nashville Memories
LEBANON,
Tennessee August 8, 2007
It’s been over three years since ARCA RE/MAX Series driver
Josh Clemons has recorded a top-10 finish at Nashville
Superspeedway, but as the series returns to the 1.333-mile
track this weekend, Clemons would like to rekindle the
Nashville flame and score his third career top-10 finish
Saturday.
Clemons,
a native of New Albany, Indiana made his ARCA RE/MAX Series
debut at the Lebanon, Tennessee based track in 2004 and
produced smashing results. After qualifying, Clemons looked
more like a veteran and netted the first of two top-10
finishes in his inaugural running.
Now,
with limited runs in the series since, and a 11th place
finish at Nashville Superspeedway in 2005, Clemons returns
to the track hoping to put his Clemons Racing team back in
the spotlight while also looking for his first top-10
performance since September 2004.
“Nashville
Superspeedway is probably my favorite speedway track,”
said Clemons, driver of the No. 21 Ford Fusion. “We run
very well each time we go there and this weekend should be
no different. We didn’t have any luck in our last outing
at Kentucky Speedway, but we’ve picked up the pace
considerably since then and we’re looking for a platinum
performance Saturday.”
Instead
of carrying their normal No. 41, the team has swapped
numbers to hoist the famous No. 21 normally carried by the
Jack Bowsher & Associates Motorsports camp. With the
team unable to compete in Saturday’s TOYOTA ARCA 150, the
Clemons offered to help the team gather points for upcoming
events this season.
“What
an honor it is for our team to be carrying the No. 21 this
weekend,” continued Clemons. “While we strive to be
competitors on the track, everyone knows the pros and cons
of racing off the track and anytime we can help out a
veteran like the Bowsher’s, we’re going to do it!”

“I

we’ve been on the track, so we’re going to Nashville
this weekend, looking to give no mercy and put ourselves and
our sponsors in prime position for some exposure.”
He
continued, “I want to thank everyone on my Clemons Racing
team for their long and countless amounts of hours this
season. Everyone knows that if there is a race on the
