Jim Rouse, Ocala, FL- After the Mike Peters Open was postponed for the “R-word,” we hope to get back to action at Bubba Raceway Park. The NeSmith Crate Late Models are on tap as well as the Scorpion Racing Products UMP DirtCar Modifieds, Bubba Army Hobby Stocks, and the Rent-N-Roll Gladiators. Those 4 divisions will bring the heat but may be overshadowed by the Bigwheel Race for the fans.

Bryan Bernhardt is incredible. The driver out of Versailles, IN, has all 3 cars he has driven in the top 5 in points and that includes the Bubba Raceway Park Crate Late Models points lead. As he tries to keep his Bubba Army Performance Engines #B69 up front it’ll be Dover, Florida’s Jeff Mathews chasing him in the Gator Core Recycling #33. Mathews owns Bernhardt’s Modified ride so that just adds to the tight battle between the two. Tyler Clem is in an outstanding third place and sits just nineteen points behind the leader. (more…)

Ocala, FL- Bubba Raceway Park Officials have deemed that the track will not be in proper conditions for this week-ends show and have called off all action at the 3/8 mile in Ocala. After torrential rains on Wednesday and Thursday and an 80%+ chance of rain, Bubba decided to make sure all fans, drivers, and families got a proper racetrack for this great event. The make-up date has been set for July 19th and 20th. We hope to see you on May 11th for some hot action with the NeSmith Crate Late Models, Scorpion Racing Products UMP DirtCar Modifieds, Bubba Army Hobby Stocks, and the Rent-N-Roll Gladiators. There will also be a Big Wheel Race at Intermission. For more information visit www.bubbaracewaypark.com or call us at 352-622-9400!

Ocala, FL- For the first-time in the 2013 season we’ll have a 2-day show at Bubba Raceway Park for the Mike Peters Open. The United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series will be in action over the race week-end in a 70-lap shootout for $5000. Our Scorpion Racing Products UMP DirtCar Modifieds will battle for $3000 while the Hobby Stocks, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, and the Florida Mini Sprints will attack the track as well. Late Models and Modifieds will qualify and heat race Friday night; all 5 divisions will race their features on Saturday.

Rich “The Brat” Pratt has his Groeb Farms #0 on the top of the standings board for the first time in recent memory but he doesn’t care because he hasn’t put his car in Coors Light Winner’s Circle yet. Pratt has gone back to his old paint scheme and is ready to go back to his winning ways as well. Bryan Bernhardt has won a Crate Late Model race in 2013 but has yet to take home the trophy in a Bubba Army Late Model show. Bernhardt will try to get his Bubba Army Performance Engines #B69 into Victory Lane, just as the Wells Farms sponsored driver Darrell Padgett did last time out. (more…)
