Just Can’t Get Enough

By- Jim Rouse, Bubba Raceway Park Media

RaceCar Engineering Late Models, Buddy’s Home Furnishings Limited Late Models, 1-800-ASK GARY V-8 Thunderstocks, Barfield Law Group Mini Stocks, and a Spectator Race will all run at Bubba Raceway Park this week-end and the last 2 weeks have seen surprises throughout.

The RaceCar Engineering Late Models make their return and up front there’s no surprise- Ivedent Lloyd, Jr. is still taking the field to school. However, Richard Ferry and Bo Allen sit just behind him and could strike if misfortune hits the driver of the #21. Ferry has shown that he can beat the man who qualfied 5th in the World of Outlaws just last week-end and would love to put his #17 back in victory lane. Allen hasn’t hit the gold yet but top 5s lead to wins. Mark Whitener sits in 4th waiting patiently to make a charge as does Bryan Bernhardt who has made significant improvements throughout the past few months. (more…)

By- Jim Rouse, Bubba Raceway Park Media

As the Top Gun Sprints, Hobby Stocks, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunderstocks, Barfield Law Group Mini Stocks, Rent-N-Roll Gladiators battled for points and put on breath taking events the Scorpion Racing Products UMP DirtCar Open-Wheel Modifieds had a special privilege. Ten year old Justin Fairbanks had the time of his life as he was Grand Marshall, Trophy Man, VIP, and every driver’s biggest fan as his favorite Modifieds, as well as 5 other divisions, raced on the toughest 3/8 mile in the country!

The night’s action started with the Hobby Stocks. Kyle Morse spun on lap 3 to bring out caution #1 with Howard O’Steen, Darran Jackson, and Rodney Wright up front. Just 2 laps later O’Steen broke and caught Grady Christian with him; the accident ended Christian’s night and ruined O’Steen’s. The wreck left Jackson and Wright 1-2 with Trevor Gamble in hot pursuit. (more…)
