Uncle Joe Benson at work & play at the California Speedway - 11/2002.

Since it's opening in 1997, Joe Benson has been the voice of the California Speedway. In that role, he handles the master of ceremonies duties for race day, as well as doing play-by-play announcing with his old friend Shawn Parr.

November 1-3, 2002: For the 6th consecutive year Uncle Joe announced at The 500 presented by Toyota at the California Speedway in Fontana, but this year it turned into The Fastest 500 Mile Race in History! There were the traditionally wild announcer antics throughout the weekend, and an Uncle Joe Meet & Greet Saturday morning during Chris Taylor's live ARROW 93 broadcast and Sunday before the race began.
