Uncle Joe Benson at work & play at the California Speedway NASCAR race - February 2007.

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 23 - 25, 2007: J.B. officially began the 2007 NASCAR Nextel Cup Automobile Club 500 at the California Speedway with his traditional Friday afternoon KLOS broadcast from the big stage in the Opportunity California Fan Zone. This time he featured interviews with Southern California drivers Kevin Harvick (the 2007 Daytona 500 winner) and Casey Mears as well as the legendary Mark Martin. Then Unc spent the weekend talking with thousands of race fans and serving as the Fan Zone's Master of Ceremonies Saturday (featuring The Cult in concert) and Sunday (featuring The Kevin Costner Band in concert). Then it was time to race!
