Jimmie Johnson to drive Randy Moss' truck

Randy Moss on Tuesday showed he can attract big-time talent to his Craftsman Truck team by naming Jimmie Johnson his driver for the Aug. 20 race at Bristol.

Johnson, the two-time defending Spint Cup champion, will run in the No. 81 Randy Moss Motorsports Chevy Silverado. Moss wears 81 for the New England Patriots.

"I have never run a truck race so it should be fun," the Boston Herald quoted Johnson as saying. "Heck, my brother Jarit has run more than me, but it's going to be a good time. I'm excited to run Randy's truck. Hopefully we can get them a good finish."

Moss' team debuted July 19 at Kentucky, with driver Willie Allen finishing 15th.
