Fast Facts
-The Chris Estes/Brad Pena Memorial event was added to the Ponderosa Speedway schedule for the first time in 2008 as a tribute to this well respected pair of young man after they tragically lost their lives in an automobile accident in late October of 2007 on the way to the World of Outlaws Series World Finals in Charlotte, NC.
-Mike Marlar of Winfield, TN would make the inaugural running of the Chris Estes/Brad Pena Memorial a memorable one, especially for the Estes family, as the “Winfield Warrior” would pilot the Estes family owned C.J. Rayburn Race Cars mount to victory in less than ideal track conditions, as the event was contested on the first Saturday of April after approximately 6 inches of rain had fell in the 48 hours leading up to the event. Marlar would hold off Jason Keltner to get the win, followed by Shon Flanery, Michael Chilton, and Rohn Moon. Victor Lee would also lower the track record at this event to its current mark of 12.744 seconds on that unseasonably cool and damp evening.
-Victor Lee of Stanford, KY would put his name in the record books as the winner of the 2nd Chris Estes/Brad Pena Memorial event in dominant fashion as he led all 40 laps in claiming the $4,000 payday. Lee would pilot the Frank Revel Motorsports owned Kentucky’s Best, Budda Bert Transmissions Sales and Service sponsored #4 C.J. Rayburn Race Cars, Jay (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)ens Race Engines powered machine. Greg Johnson would finish a distant second, followed by Tyrel Todd, Michael Chilton, and Dustin Linville. A total of 31 entries would attempt to make the 24 car starting field.
-The 2010 version of the Chris Estes/Brad Pena Memorial would be a classic duel between a pair of second-generation racers as Eddie Carrier, Jr. of Salt Rock, WV would outduel Bryantsville, KY native Dustin Linville to pick up the $3,000 payday. A trio of second-generation racers would complete the top five in the form of Jordan Bland of Campbellsville, KY and the brother duo of Mike and Skylar Marlar of Winfield, TN, as 9 of the 23 starters in the event were second generation drivers.
-Dustin Neat of Dunnville, KY would become the fourth different winner in four editions of the race with his 2011 event win after taking the lead on lap 5 and leading the rest of the way. Trailing Neat at the drop of the checkered flag would be Justin Rattliff, Jarrod Breeding, Derek Fisher, and Bobby Wolter, Jr.
-A total of fifty-four (54) different drivers have made the four previous Estes/Pena Memorial events. Those racers making the event for the first time in 2011 included Jarrod Breeding, John Mulligan, Stephen Breeding, Wesley Brummett, Gary Yeager, Jason Hinkle, Tommy Riggs, and Mickey Slone.
-There have been six (6) drivers that have made all four previous Estes/Pena Memorial events. Those drivers include Michael Chilton, Arnie Fields, Victor Lee, Dustin Linville, David Webb, and Bobby Wolter, Jr. Drivers making three starts in the event include Larry Gray, Jr., Mike Marlar, Dustin Neat, and Justin Rattliff.
