John Bradshaw Memorial Fast Facts and Tidbits
-This event was added to the Ponderosa Speedway schedule in late 2003 as a combination event with the Fall Classic as a tribute to the late John Bradshaw, who had taken over at the promotional helm at “The Pond†to begin the 2003 season, but tragically lost his life early on after running only a handful events early in the 2003 season.
-In the inaugural event that was contested in 2003, Johnny Wheeler of Campbellsville, KY would drive the Yantz Motorsports owned Rayburn Race Car mount to the checkered in what was a combined John Bradshaw Memorial/Fall Classic event as Jerry Denson had taken over as the promoter at “The Pondâ€. The race was sanctioned by the STARS Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series and saw 2003 series champion Mike Marlar score a runner-up finish in the race. Timmy Yeager, Mike Jewell, and Jesse Lay would complete the top five.
-The O’Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series presented by Arizona Sport Shirts was back to sanction the 2004 version of the John Bradshaw Memorial and what a race it was, as Steve Barnett, Aaron Hatton, Benji Lee, and Don O’Neal went at it “tooth and nail†over the final 15 circuits of the race, with Raywick, KY native Benji Lee scoring his only to date career O’Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series event win. Lee drove the Kenneth Harlow owned entry to what is the biggest career win to date for the second-generation Marion County youngster. Hatton, Barnett, O’Neal, and Mike Jewell would complete the top five.
-For 2005, the O’Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series was back to sanction the 3rd Annual John Bradshaw Memorial race and the inaugural “BoB Late Model†champion from 2002, Eddie Carrier, Jr. of Salt Rock, WV, would drive the Grover Motorsports owned Rocket Chassis mount to the win over 2005 series co-champion Mike Jewell, with Brad Neat, Whitney McQueary, and Anthony Adams completing the top five.
-The 2006 edition of the event was called the Ponderosa 50/4th Annual John Bradshaw Memorial and was sanctioned by the O’Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series. The race was the highest paying to win event for Late Models that has been contested at “The Pond†in over four and one-half years and when the dust settled, Greg Johnson of Bedford, IN walked away with $5,000 for his efforts by winning the event over Eddie Carrier, Jr., Chris Combs, Brad Neat, and Scott James in an event that will always be remembered for the infamous Aaron Hatton/Earl Pearson, Jr. “parking†accident in turn one.
-With the addition of the new clay surface at what was now being called “Kentucky’s Baddest Bullringâ€, only one word could describe the action in the ’07 Bradshaw Memorial event-Insane! Mike Marlar of Winfield, TN would get his first win (and $5,000) in this event after charging from the rear of the field with a flat tire on lap 10. Marlar would take the lead on lap 40 when race leader Aaron Hatton had mechanical issues as the pair battled door to door for the top spot. Scott James would outgun Victor Lee for second, with Campbellsville natives Tim Tungate and Jason Keltner garnering fourth and fifth positions.
-The 2008 John Bradshaw Memorial event would be co-sanctioned by the O’Reilly Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series and Independent Racing Series and Rob Blair of Titusville, PA would make an 11 hour tow pay off in his first ever visit to “The Pond†by claiming the $5,000 payday over Victor Lee, Don O’Neal, Michael England, and Dustin Linville, with an event record 34 entries on hand.
-For 2009, the John Bradshaw Memorial event was contested on a dry, smooth slick racing surface after three inches of rain in the early morning hours prior to the race and Victor Lee of Stanford, KY would win one of the few events he had not already won at least once in his career at Ponderosa Speedway by scoring the $5,000 first-time win in this event. Trailing Lee in an exciting finish were Eddie Carrier, Jr., Mike Marlar, David Webb, and Bobby Wolter, Jr.
-Eddie Carrier, Jr. of Salt Rock, WV would become the first repeat winner of the John Bradshaw Memorial event with his victory in the 2010 event sanctioned by the National All Star Racing Association. Trailing Carrier, Jr. at the drop of the checkered flag in the event were Mike Marlar, Greg Johnson, Victor Lee, and David Webb.
-The 2011 edition of the John Bradshaw Memorial would be an unsanctioned event that would see Justin Rattliff lead the early stages of the event, only to tangle with a lapped car and suffer a flat tire. This turn of events would put Eric Wells of Hazard, KY on the point and he would remain there to take the win, followed by David Webb, Brad Neat, Victor Lee, and Jeff Watson.
