“Paramount Studios contacted us last year right after winning the Infineon race in Sonoma wanting us to do a special show for Spike TV with Jesse James.  We were still riding high from winning our home race when the phone call came from the studios. The call took us all by surprise on that Monday morning following the Sonoma race, considering they wanted us in L.A. on Tuesday morning to shoot the new show.  We were able to put a deal together in that short amount of time and the show really turned out great”, said Guidera.

“This was a great opportunity for our race team to promote the Mohegan Sun, NHRA  and all of our sponsors with the huge network coverage that Spike TV provides. I think that the show really surprised a lot of people, as we have gotten a lot of phone calls the past couple of days congratulating the team on the great exposure we received”, said team manager Brian Bozsum.

“It was a great experience to be involved with Jesse James and to be part of his new network show on Spike TV.  One of the greatest rewards of a show like this is the introduction of our sport to new fans throughout Spike TV’s viewership audiences.  Any new and different marketing exposure that a race team can get from a telecast like this is a benefit to the NHRA and the whole sport of drag racing,” Bozsum said.

The team is on the road heading to Chicago this weekend for the first part of a four-race summer swing back east.

“We’ve had a lot of time off to get the bike and team prepared for the opening race at the United Association Route 66 NHRA Nationals in Chicago, IL.  We’ve made some good dyno pulls during the break so we are expecting good things to come during the summer swing.  One of our goals this whole year has been to be in the Top Ten, which we have accomplished, and then to make a strong push for the Top Five to the Countdown by Indy.  With a bit of luck and hard work I think we’ll get there”, Guidera said.
