The Elgin Crosswind was the chosen sweeper at this years’ Daytona 500 Race.  The sweeper went out a total of 8 times during the 500 race and a total of 48 times over the week during all the race events with a total of 133 miles of sweeping.  There was a total 9200 gallons of water vacuumed off the track during wet conditions over the week.

After spending over $22 million to resurface the historic track, Daytona International Speedway chose the Elgin Crosswind because of its dust control and performance features.  The regenerative air sweeper includes unique features developed for racetrack sweeping and maintenance applications, including a 20,000 CFM-rated blower, a hydraulically-driven, plastic bristle side broom on one side of the sweeper and a high-performance air-blast nozzle on the other side.  For remote cleaning, the unit also features a soft wall cleaning attachment and a large jib boom-mounted 8-inch rear vacuum hose for the big jobs.

Joe Johnson, President of Joe Johnson Equipment (JJE), laced up for Hockey Night in Barrie III, a fundraiser organized to raise money for Royal Victoria Hospital’s Simcoe-Muskoka Regional Cancer Centre.  Prime Minister Stephen Harper coached the blue team alongside Don Cherry.  "Canada is the only country on earth where a group of volunteers could fill a hockey rink on a summer night with over 4,000 fans to watch a pick-up game and raise money for a good cause," said Prime Minister Harper to the crowd.  "That is what makes our country so great, combining the greatest game on earth with volunteer community spirit to support a cause that benefits us all."

The use of JJE’s De-OX Ice Making System ensured the players enjoyed the charity game on harder, faster, clearer ice.  Joe was pleased to share the ice with hockey greats including Wendel Clark, Darcy Tucker, Shayne Corson, Mike Gartner and Steve Thomas.  Also in attendance was event organizer and Barrie MP Patrick Brown, Minister of National Defence Peter MacKay, TSN's James Duthie, Olympian Kurt Browning, singer Michael Burgess and rock star Duncan Coutts of Our Lady Peace.

Setting a new record, Hockey Night in Barrie III raised over $200,000 for the Cancer Centre with the support of JJE.  To donate directly to the Royal Victoria Hospital please go to www.rvh.on.ca.
