We thank ball. Bubba Pollard holds a slim lead over Texan Brandon Bendele, who will be trying to finish one position better than his last two races. In the first two PLM races Bendele has two seconds. Also look for the growing rivalry between Pollard and D.J. Vanderley to continue as both drivers produced a few fireworks in the last race, then showed their displeasures after the race.

Walter “Junior” Coleman 1960-2011 Walter “Junior” Coleman lost his battle with lung cancer earlier this month. He is survived by his wife Shannon; children Jay, Hunter, Alicia and Amanda; and his grandbaby Alexus. Junior was a loving husband, father, and pawpaw. He enjoyed Hunting, Fishing, and working on the racecars. He also enjoyed making people laugh and goofing off with his family and friends. He will be greatly missed in the pits.

WhoitAre These Kids? Call a Press Box, or a Tower, It’s Where Race Decisions Are Made.
1971 1971 1971 Towers of Yesteryear...TOP was the second tower, the first was set afire by a disgruntled fan the night before the first Snowball Derby. No photo of that tower is available. Middle photo shows tower that was in operation for many years up until 1995 when it was blown into the parking lot by Hurricane Opal. Bottom photo was a temporary tower set on a platform for much of the1996 season. The current tower has been in use since then. Contractor Bobby Grant put down some deep pilings to support the current structure. The tower is the nerve center of the race event, with timing, scoring, announcing, news media, and race control all operating side by side. Just as important is the food concession on the ground floor, the home of Karen’s Kitchen.
