    We are aware of the articles in regards to the track they are not correct. There are some legal matters that are being handled. We are racing this weekend and a full season, JOIN US!

          I knew this was coming. The track is failing. Nobody shows up, and they've gone to basically a "specials only" format this year. I'm very surprised the ownership of the track isn't actually under one of the other investors with Bubba as a licensing deal, I thought they were smarter than that.

            Hopefully someone will take over the operation of the track at Ocala if it comes to that. BRP is a nice facility and we've seen some very good racing there during February Speedweeks over the past decade. I wasn't aware that BRP is the oldest auto racing facility in the state of Florida.

            Bubba always has come off as a bit of a douche bag with his radio antics and the whole weird deal with Hulk Hogan. Now it turns out he isn't much of a businessman, either.

            We're already totally set up with lodging for 2020 Speedweeks in Florida. Hopefully the Lucas Oil Late Models and USAC midget and sprint car shows go on as usual down there.

              Lol. The Hulkster thing is just creepy, and shady as can be. You let some other guy bang your fake wife just so you can videotape it without his knowledge, and sell it to make money. I mean, just wow.
              Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                i would have thought they would have made that 94k or more during one speed week , must have been blowing the money on his sons racing and not paying his bills ......

                  I think someone else is footing the bill for his son's racing. He recently lost his house (or, technically was forced to sell it to pay out his Neilson lawsuit losses) and he still owes a lot more to the IRS, local taxes, and his other lawsuit losses. He's off regular radio totally, with his show playing (sometimes...) on a local AM station. You guys know that he got his good friend disbarred along with 2 other lawyers for getting them wrapped up in a DUI setup gimmick back when he was involved in a lawsuit with another radio DJ? And now, in a last ditch effort to get himself out of this hole he's involved in suing a bunch of people over the whole wife/hogan thing. He's also accused of domestic violence against his former girlfriend. The clown literally begs for people to go on Amazon and buy him stuff on his show. He's done, toast, over with.

                    Oh and i just took a look at our local court records, Bank of America just recently took him to court for not paying his credit card bill. The balance owed was $15,000....now $15g's isn't sneezing money for most of us, but for a guy who has always bragged about how rich he is 15g's shouldn't have been a thing.

                      Classy guy.

                      Just think, Howard Stern has that massive deal with XM, probably makes his blood boil, lmao.

                        Sad to see him going downhill like this. We raced there for several years and he was always more than fair with the racers! I know he has a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Cox media over his last contract with them, not sure of the details.

                        I hope he gets the ship righted as I think its one of the best facilities in Florida!

                            Husker,

                            What did I miss? The foreclosure proceedings? Or that he says it's just a small legal matter that's being resolved?

                            I know I can't measure up to your greatness, but I try.
