Game On At Montgomery Motor Speedway In 2010
IT’S
For Immediate Release
It might be cold outside but the telephone at the
track has been “hot” with calls from Georgia commenting, “Hold On, Not So Fast
Over There, We Will Take On The Posse” was heard on the track answering machine!!
Never one to back down from a challenge, long time
short-track veteran Bubba Pollard said when he read the press release about the
Alabama Posse, “We have our own entourage that will be in Montgomery for the Show
Me The Money Races and we will challenge the posse for that stash of cash Augie
Grill claims is his,” said Pollard of Senoia, Ga. Joining Pollard will be T. J.
Reaid, Acworth, Ga., Chase Elliott, Dawsonville, Ga. and Kristen Wallace, Jasper,
Ga.
“Don’t forget we have been racing for a few years and
have the original Georgia Gang on our side,” quipped Pollard. “My car owner, and mentor Ronnie Sanders, was
part of the Georgia Gang back in the 80s when Bob Harmon had his All Pro Super
Series and they were pretty darn AWESOME as Harmon would say” continued
Pollard. Six-time All Pro Champion Jody
Ridley was the leader of the original Georgia Gang along with two-time All Pro
Champion Randy Couch, Kenny Rogers double in the movie Six Pack, Billy McGinnis
and Sanders were the ones to beat in their hay-day. Sanders still does some racing in
Pollard can definitely back up the challenge since he,
Grill, Bolen, Reaid and others have dueled many times over the past few years throughout
the southeast.
2009 was a decent racing year for Pollard but not to
his liking. He made 31 starts in 2009
recording six poles, 12 stops in victory lane along with 25 top five and 26 top
ten finishes. He won the Miller Lite Championship Series at Mobile Int’l
Speedway which was part of the Sunoco Gulf Coast Championship. He made two Show Me The Money attempts in
2009 recording a fourth place finish and a DNS due to engine failure.
Reaid, has moved up quickly in short-track
circles. He started Late Model racing in
2006 and already has been to victory lane four times and holds track records at
many places. He currently holds the Pro Late Model qualifying record at
Youth would certainly describe two other members of
the New Georgia Gang. Chase Elliott, 14 years of age had three pole starts and
four wins to his credit in 2009 in a Pro Late Model car. And it is not everyday that a young race car
driver can say he has one of the most famous NASCAR drivers ever calling the
shots in his pits. His dad, Bill
Elliott, the first Million Dollar man in NASCAR, was 1988 NASCAR Winston Cup
Champion and has been named Most Popular NASCAR Driver 16 times, the most in
NASCAR history. All this and he still
cannot drive on
“In my 30 years of being associated with short-track
racing, I have never known any driver to have the talent, background and opportunity
that Chase possesses for his age,” commented Desmond. “We definitely will see
this young driver make history, just like his dad.”
Rounding out the
Georgia Gang in 2010 will be a true Georgia Peach, Kristen Wallace, Jasper,
An opening event
Media Day will be held on March 12, followed by an open practice. Another open practice
will be on March 13. Join the crowd at
Montgomery Motor Speedway on March 20 for the 2010 Show Me The Money I. Be a part of history and watch as the New “Georgia
Gang” makes their TEAM debut.
