Johnson Returns To Action In "Scorcher 150" Saturday

Jerick Johnson and the KOMA Unwind Super Late Model team return to action Saturday night in the Pro All Stars Series “Scorcher 150” at Southern National Motorsports Park in Lucama, North Carolina. 

It has been a slow month for Johnson, KOMA Unwind and Godfather Motorsports, with Mother Nature holding the team to just one outing in the last 30 days. But with a favorable forecast in place for Saturday evening, Johnson said he hopes to get back on track – both literally and figuratively – with a solid run on the fast, 4/10ths-mile oval. 

“Southern National is a showplace facility and we all love racing there,” he said. “It’s fast, high-banked and very racy, and hopefully, we can put our best foot forward and have a great run Saturday night.” 

The “Scorcher 150” is part of a massive, six division program, along with the PASS Pro Late Models, Southern National Limited Late Models, Street Stocks, U-Cars and Bandoleros. Rotating practices begin at 12:30 p.m. ET, with time trial qualifying set for 5:00 p.m. A special “Fan Pit Party” will take place trackside at 6:30, with fans able to collect autographs and photos from their favorite PASS Super Late Model drivers. Johnson and his Godfather Motorsports team will also hand out complimentary samples of KOMA Unwind “Liquid Relaxation Drink” to fans.  

Feature racing begins at approximately 6 p.m. Saturday night.

About POW*MIA Awareness – Godfather Motorsports is proud to support the POW*MIA Awareness Campaign. Driver Jerick Johnson has long been an advocate for veterans’ rights and the United States military. He is a five-time Distinguished Guest of the American Legion National Convention and has earned numerous awards from other veterans’ organizations. Promoting and increasing public awareness of the POW*MIA issue has become his main goal. `Prisoner Of War: Missing in Action’ refers to any soldier taken prisoner by the opposing side during an action of war. It is not always known whether that solider is alive or dead, only that they are missing. Our goal is to remind our fellow Americans that the greatest tragedy of all is to be forgotten, and honor those who have given so much. Jerick thanks Godfather Motorsports for the opportunity to help increase awareness of this issue by carrying the POW*MIA logo on the No. 30 KOMA Unwind Chevrolet.
