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.
