Uncle Joe Benson at work & play at the NASCAR races at California Speedway - 4/2000. 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. April 2000: The NASCAR NAPA Auto Parts 500 Winston Cup race closed out the month of April at California Speedway in Fontana. Racing fans got a chance to hear Joe ("The Voice of the California Speedway") provide "on-track" announcing and color commentary for all three races with old buddy Shawn Parr. The Uncle Joe's 300ZX race car was on display all weekend at the ARROW 93 booth. In between races on Saturday Joe joined Mary Price for another "Live Radio Broadcast" and a quick Uncle Joe Meet & Greet. Later that evening, Joe introduced the evening's entertainment, The Marshall Tucker Band. A wild time was had by all at the largest sporting event in the Western United States!
