God, I miss SPEED Channel. Loved all the awesome short track racing they'd show.

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

Me too

[@cito1101]

Good ole Gresham Motorsports Park. Wish this track still existed

[@Noskywyd]

What happened to this track?

[@cito1101]

@Noskywyd it was abandoned sometime in the late 2010's I believe

[@Noskywyd]

@@cito1101 why? It looks like a good track. Pretty big compared to other short tracks.

[@crystaljon]

Other notable drivers in this race include LaJoie, Suarez, Moffitt, Elliott, Bowman, and Clay Campbell.

[@D2RCR]

Matty D was near the front there too

[@alexvd]

@@D2RCR right, he listed the notable drivers.

[@MoNeenja]

Forgot about Gresham, last memory of him was him being mid in the 9 truck

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

Glad I’m not the only one that remembers him

[@JayDee185]

Wish he was still in NASCAR. He was underrated, had some good performances in the 8 truck

[@needsmetal]

That team wasn't good, even Hornaday couldn't fix them

[@JayDee185]

Weren’t they different teams? I know Gresham and Hornaday were teammates at one point, but then Gresham switched

[@needsmetal]

@JayDee185 no that was NTS motorsports

[@125guitarmaster]

Bubba was sponsored by the US Army at one point? Boy, the Facebook boomers would have an aneurysm if they knew that

[@NascarNixon]

He even had a truck scheme that bragged about Toyota's being made in America

[@LessGo7921]

@@NascarNixonBubba’s a true patriot 💯

[@SDreamer83]

30 car starting field. They only had 16 at this year's season opener.

[@chada75]

Thanks to the Spec rules that "save money".

[@TravisMSimpson]

@@chada75 Nothing ever saves money. If NASCAR promises to save money, they are lying

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

And now Bubba’s gonna be a Dad

[@tylerpuszczewicz2535]

It looks unreal that the Army car is a Toyota because it's always been a GM car.

[@DrSamwpepper]

You know it's an old clip when Bubba is being listed as Darrell Wallace Jr.

[@Firelight210]

Wait, why did his name change from darrell Wallace jr to bubba Wallace?

[@Ibelikemj]

He’s always been Darrell, Bubba is just his nickname and uses it for marketing purposes

[@JackLikesTrackhouse]

@@IbelikemjI think he also said his sister called him that when he was little so he kinda went with it

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

@@Ibelikemj very wrong, his sister has called him that. “Bubba” is just more known nowadays.
