Uncle Joe Benson at the 2007 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.

April 13 - 15, 2007: Just like every April since 1986, Uncle Joe Benson was once again part of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. His Friday and Saturday broadcasts featured an array of guests including 4-time Grand Prix winner Paul Tracy, 3-time Grand Prix winner Sébastien Bourdais and Champ Car rookie phenom Graham Rahal. Joe also did huge Meet & Greet sessions all three days at the KLOS Cool Patrol booth where the Uncle Joe's Nissan 300ZX race car was on display. Rock & Roll!
