Bubba The Love Sponge" Clem & Bubba Raceway Park face foreclosure. Still owe $94,000+

[turnleftandgasit]

I have listened to hundreds of hours of his show. He had talent. Sure, he wasn't for everybody, but he had a following as big or bigger than 99% of the shock jocks out there. Seems like his kid isn't a bad regional racer either.

[CIRF]

Talent? That's very debatable. The operative word is "had" a following. It appears to have been more of a timing thing. Clem hit it big about the time that shock was cutting edge and in vogue, especially within the young demographic looking for something that was intended to be edgy. You know, stuff their parents probably wouldn't like or enjoy. I reckon it was edgy to a certain degree. I was a part of that demographic and I listened to the guy, until the shine went off of the apple. But like a lot of pop culture fads Clem's style couldn't sustain itself and he didn't have the foresight and creativeness to sustain it beyond the fad going out of vogue. One thing is beyond question, Clem was/is one strange ranger!

It appears that he'll get what he gave regarding the rest of his personal train wreck. Just really hope someone steps up to save the racetrack and keeps is going.

I know you’re joking, but it would be hilarious if Hulk bought BRP after the foreclosure as an FU to Bubba.

You vs C-Dubya for the inaugural main event?

Yep, chainsaws at ten paces!!!! grrrrrrr!!!

Well, cut his legs off and call him shorty!!!!

I believe Bubba's will forever be the first track I've visited which had a (female) attendant in the (men's)
toilet

[Clayton_Wetter]

For those that need a helping hand!!!!

Sadly, I don’t think Hulk is doing very well financially either. Though yes, it would be great irony. He was my favorite wrestler growing up.

Hulk has been doing much better financially the last couple years. The Gawker lawsuit went in his favor, and he has received a bunch of that money and his ex won’t get any of that money. He’s also back on the WWE payroll, and while those WWE legend deals don’t pay what in ring deals do, they do pay pretty well.

Gotcha man. Good to hear. I knew after the divorce, he wasn’t doing well.

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Wasnt he dating his daughters friend or was that just a fling?

[HoosierDirtFan]

Wasnt he dating his daughters friend or was that just a fling?

No that was Hulk's ex-wife dating her & Hulk's sons best friend.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

No that was Hulk's ex-wife dating her & Hulk's sons best friend.

And she was nothing special whatsoever. Daughter was pretty cute, I have no idea now.

Bubba did have radio talent. At one time, ending around 2010ish, he was actually pretty funny most of the time. He was doing very, very well for himself. But he's also got an enormously fragile, but huge ego. He can dish out the shot talk but can't take it at all. He got fired from Cox (in part) because he wasn't a funny shock jock anymore, he was just a cranky whiner who spent most of his show complaining about literally everything in the world. When he got fired from Cox and they moved the afternoon guy into his morning slot Bubba literally lost his mind. He got on another station and he launched this absurd radio war against his old station, and it absolutely consumed him and his show. He totally stopped putting on an amusing show and spent nearly every minute on-air on the offensive against the old station and specifically the host of the show that took his place. It was miserable, sad radio and nobody wanted to listen. So he lost that station, and then got busted down to AM radio where any of us could have a radio show for a few bucks. Also to keep this racing-centric, Bubba also also had an engine builder in his shop that built Mark Whitener an illegal crate and got his suspended from NeSmith for a year.

He was/possibly is still very good friends with Tony Stewart. Tony up until last year anyways, was paying for and mentoring Tyler as he ran 410's, wingless and late models. May see BRP get some help from Stewart. Rumor years ago, that you can find online, is Tony was also smoking Bubbas wife as well, with Bubbas blessing. Its a weird batch of characters down there.
