AUGUST 11, 2024 - - - Bubba Roling and his #515 team invaded North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, Alabama on August 9-10 for the annual ‘King of the Crate’ showdown. A total of 24 604 Crate Late Model drivers were in attendance in the Crate Racin’ USA Dirt Late Model Series special to vie for the $10,000 first place prize money.
On Friday night during preliminary action, Bubba was quick right out of the box by laying down the fastest lap in his group during qualifying and picking up a heat race victory. After starting Saturday’s 75-lap headliner from the outside of the front row, Bubba ran in the second spot early in the feature distance before suffering a flat left rear tire on lap 28. The Clay Hill, Florida ace then returned to the track to restart at the tail, but was later swept up in an incident on lap 53, which subsequently dropped him to twentieth in the final finishing order.
