Hey Justin, why did you start using the Ford Mustang?

justin bell:

So I drove the Porsche Panamera up there – what a car!!

12:34

Comment From Zach

I believe my step dad told me he saw a TV show of you when you were in Oregon testing out some car? I cannot remember what car it was, or what the TV show was called, but I know it was a few months ago, and you were in Oregon near Multnomah fall.

12:35

justin bell:

It was a great new show called Shut up and Drive on SPEED – they are still replaying it

12:35

Comment From Brad Grissom

Justin, you obviously had a great run in the #50 Mustang this year and you are great for the series. I certainly hope we will see you return to Pirelli World Challenge competition next year in a Paul Brown eBay Motors Mustang.

12:35

So how are you doing Zach – feeling good?

12:36

justin bell:

I hoep so too Brad – what a great year – and a nice way to end off with third at Sonoma!
