Joseph Long

#37

Joseph Long drives the #37 Modified car. He lives in Bryant, Ark. His home track is I-30 Speedway but he can also be found racing at Beebe Speedway.

He began racing in 1999 in Hobby Stock Class at I-30 Speedway because he got tired of being a Crew Chief and decided  to become a Driver. His first win was in 1999, same Track and Class. Career highlights include 1999 Rookie of the Year Hobby Stock (I-30) 3d in Points, 2000 Track Champion Hobby Stock I-30 Speedway, and 2003 IMCA Modified Rookie of the Year at I-30 Speedway.

The thrills of racing for him are the competition and the fact that they  do it as a family. His most exciting racing moment was winning his Heat Race at the Boone Nationals and running the "A" Main with racing greats  such as John Logue, Henry Whitt Jr., Johnny the Jet, David Murry Jr., and all of the other greats. He is most proud of finishing in the Top 10 every year since he began racing.

His racing heroes are (asphalt) Jeff Gordon and (Dirt) Billy Mayer.

Of racing, John says, "How fun it is, yet how hard the work is".
