Just heard his Monday morning show. Some of the things he said about USAC and the Clauson's and the group of racers (other than DD, Hines, Bud, and Levi) were absolutely uncalled for. There should not be a sanctioning body in North America that would want to run at this guys race track.

I hope usac finds a place to run in Florida next year if Bubba's rant persist. I was planning on going next year. Seems like he has done a pretty good job of promoting usac the last 3 years. Can't believe he dosen't look at it as a learning experience and move on. On a good note it was one great finish.

According to Bubba the Jackass, USAC won't be back next year. He already announced Big Block Mods. Oooooohhhhh, can't wait for that.

Having just listened to the Radio Show using the 3-Hour delay West Coast stream.

Yes, it was not great how he spoke about Bryan or USAC Racing.

But that was nothing compared to the 'shock jocks' treatment regarding the death of Whitney Houston. While in no way a fan of Whitney, I do believe you should respect the dead.

Bubba is a shock jock, that's what he does. He also has a track to promote - going head to head with the WOO Sprints next Saturday night. So he's getting his 'track' and the 'you wait til' next weekend' promo's in while he can.

I just find the target of his latest shock jock tactics a little off. Dirt Track Racing is grassroots Bubba not Hollywood.

Tracks are closing faster than they are opening. Bubba as a Dirt Race Track owner, you gotta rise above race day emotions.

What ever happened to 'What went down on track stays on track' - Bubba your part of that world now. And there are very different protocols for sorting out the race track bust ups.

UK USAC fan. No Invert, No Interest. No Gimmick Racing.

Been in Florida February 2010, 11, & 12 but only attended the cold East Bay in 2010. USAC must build a relationship with quality tracks in Florida so fans can see non wing sprints in multiple markets over a 10-14 day period. I refused to attend anything "Bubba" since 2010. It appears I haven't missed much. See you all in April at the races!

I might offer a few thoughts here, glad to see some Sprint Car Racing in Florida, cold and snowy here in Indiana. Glad to see a few IOW members while I was there, overall had a good time, would I return there dunno.
Wednesday night practice was good with the exception of everyone going through several tires.Thursday night, well it was pretty much rubber down the whole night resulting in the pictures that were posted here,ugghh.Race teams found out that the tire people accepted cash only,that was bad news, glad everyone could stay for the rest of the week.That was the first night the comment was, this is my track I will run it my way,if you dont like it leave.
Friday night started out good but Mother Nature won as we all know. Saturday, despite what was announced that the track was prepped all day, sure made one wonder how accurate that statement was.
Finally racing was underway, fast quals and heat races and a good feature. Clauson tried as best he could, just a little short this time.
Thanks to ALL the teams that made the trip and for tolerating the circumstances and the other hurdles.
