“This Isn’t the Way”- 36-YO Late Model Superstar Fires Shots at NASCAR Driver’s Blatant Series Promotion

With the conclusion of NASCAR’s National series, the majority of drivers are headed to local circuits and series to keep themselves in the groove. Drivers including the HMS sensation, William Byron are keeping themselves occupied by getting a ride in races like the Florida Governor’s Cup.

However, Byron isn’t the only presence in these series. SHR‘s Josh Berry also recently tried his luck in ‘Fall Brawl’ by getting a feel of the late-model short-track action. That being said, drivers from the top divisions getting into these leagues also have their share of consequences, good or bad. especially during the off-season.

Bubba Pollard, a popular Super Late-Model driver has already highlighted this. Reacting to Matt Weaver’s tweet, the ARCA part-timer expressed his honest thoughts, pinpointing the negative aspect of this trend.

Bubba Pollard makes a startling remark about NASCAR drivers and their shift into Late-Model racing

Though both NASCAR and Late-Model racing are pretty similar, both have their own distinctions. For instance, the investment and revenue for both are so massively different that some of these Late-Model racing promotions can’t even be compared to the stock car racing giant’s events.

However, such smaller promotions also have an advantage is the local fanbase. Unlike NASCAR, these series focus on the core values of the sport, following them religiously. Perhaps this might be one of the reasons why drivers from the NASCAR divisions are taking to local series to keep their blades sharp, also encouraging more audiences to catch these off-beat promotions.

However, not everyone is a fan of this. Recently ARCA part-timer and 36-year-old popular Super Late Model racer, Bubba Pollard dropped a massive revelation responding to Matt Weaver’s tweet about ASA Stars – a national Late-Model series. Pollard wrote, “I don’t mind the NASCAR guys coming to race with us but it’s these mid week races that are going to kill this deal. There is a lot of teams that just can’t do it. Yes, some can but to get people to follow your series on a regular basis this isn’t the way. IMO.”

He further added, “I only know of 3-5 teams that can do it on a regular basis and travel all across the country. One of those teams run 3 cars. Listen I’m all for the NASCAR guys but it’s those regular guys that keep you going weekend and week out. You learn a lot when you run a dirt track.”
