Bubba Pollard Prevails in Battle of Hometown Stars at Gresham
Pollard Holds Off Fellow Georgian T.J. Reaid for Second-Straight Southern Super Series Win
JEFFERSON, GA (April 27, 2013) – Two Georgia drivers battled under the lights Saturday night at Jefferson, Georgia’s Gresham Motorsports Park, both desperately wheeling their cars to pick up the Southern Super Series presented by Sunoco victory in their backyard. In the end, Senoia’s Bubba Pollard would win the Racing Radios 125 presented by Schoenfeld Headers after a fierce, but clean, battle with Acworth’s T.J. Reaid.
As a result, Pollard remains undefeated in Southern Super Series presented by Sunoco competition. He captured the inaugural race victory at Tennessee’s Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville three weeks ago and his win Saturday was a popular one judging by the warm ovation fans gave him as he climbed out of his No. 26 JEGS.com Ford.
“Racing clean, that’s what racing is all about,” a smiling Pollard said after hoisting the trophy in victory lane. “He (Reaid) bumped us a little bit through turns three and four coming to the checkered. That’s expected. That’s racing and that’s how I like to race. I have a lot of respect for him to race me that way.” (more…)
