One Last Warm-Up

By Jimmy Rouse- Bubba Raceway Park Media

November 15, 2011

The UMP Open-Wheel Modifieds, Barrett’s Race Cars Hobby Stocks, Mini Stocks, Gladiators, and Florida Mini Sprints all shoot for another win and some valuable points in this 2011 season. Of course, it’s easier said than done.

Jeff Mathews vs. Ivedent Lloyd, Jr. at the top. Mathews has 43 points over team-mate Lloyd but the dropped night of points could close the gap. Garret Stewart, Jim Passino, and Rich Pratt will all try to hold on to top 5 positions. Pratt has 2 wins, tied for the most, in 2011, but Stewart and Passino have yet to break into victory lane. They’ll both put it all on the line and could end with a win. Kyle Bronson is 21 points out of 5th and will try to win back to back races. (more…)
