PDP (Payne, Delagrange, Paterson) Racing is proud to introduce our new sponsor, Billy Joe Jim Bob’s Seafood Restaurant and Bait Shop, where their motto is “One or the other is always fresh!”

Located in Buttscratch, Indiana, Billy Joe Jim Bob’s has a long history of supplying the fishing industry with not only bait, but lunch and dinner as well. After founder, Billy Joe Jim Bob, returned from a short 3-5 year sabbatical for some minor tax and health code issues, he decided to invest in the racing industry.

Billy Joe Jim Bob was quoted as, “I was driving home from pris……., I mean vacation with my cous……I mean wife and I saw this funny red and white thing on a trailer go past. I figured it was some kind of a mud buggy and I wanted to see where they were a headn’. Next thing I know that Paterson guy talked me into putting my name on the side. But I still don’t know what that darn thing is! But it sure looks cool!”

Tom Paterson had this to say, “The tens of dollars this sponsorship brings in will more than double our yearly budget. We may actually be able to get fries with our next White Castle Hamburgers.”

Jim Payne, primary driver, had this to say, “Billy Joe who? What sponsorship? I don’t care what he did as long as he finally sets the car up so it runs, turns and stops all in one night. Heck, two out of three would be an improvement!”

Chad Delagrange, the third member of this dream team trio, could not be reached for comment as he is at the PDP racing skunk works working on building the first supersonic Hudson Hornet.

PDP Racing will be appearing at New Paris Speedway this Saturday with the HOSS Racing Series where they are hosting an exciting new promotion. Billy Joe Jim Bob explains, “That Paterson guy said we needed to give something away. So for the first twenty people to walk up to one of them guys and say ‘worm me’, they will give them a free earth worm. Great for fishin’ or really tasty with a little ranch dressing.”

Next week on June 20th and the 21st, PDP Racing will be dusting off (get it?) the dirt car and heading north of the border to run the MTS/ BOSS double header up in Canada. Unfortunately, Billy Joe Jim Bob will not be able to attend because of something about not being able to leave the country.
