Broderick Scores at Whip City

Brookfield, CT - Bubba Broderick was a busy racer this weekend. The 19 year old Connecticut driver visited three tracks in two days, putting hundreds of miles on the beautiful Broderick Racing hauler.

On Friday night Broderick Racing towed into the Black Rock Speedway for the second event on the Lucas Oil ASCS Patriot Region 360 Sprint Car schedule. Up first was the heat race that saw ten drivers take the green. Bubba suffered a broken left rear shock, hampering his efforts. He battled through it and finished fifth.


The fifth place finish put him in the Four Laps of Fame Dash. He would place fifth at the finish. In the feature the shock problems continued – this time the culprit was the right rear shock. Like the heat race, Broderick persevered and came home with a tenth place finish.

Following the racing action at Black Rock Broderick sits in a tie for seventh in the point standings.

Saturday was a double header day for the Broderick Racing team. Early Saturday morning the team headed for the Albany-Saratoga Speedway for an open test and tune session. They joined 19 other Empire Lightning Sprint – 1200 cc Mini Sprints at the Great Race Place.

Bubba looked really good out on the 4/10ths mile track, turning some of the fastest laps of the day.

From Albany-Saratoga the team packed up their hauler and headed to Massachusetts and their former weekly home, the Whip City Speedway. Once there the night was Broderick’s as he claimed his first win of the 2009 racing season and 32nd of his career.

On Memorial Day Weekend the Broderick Racing Team will tow west to the Sharon Speedway in Ohio and the Eriez Speedway in Western Pennsylvania.

Sponsorship will come from Arbitell Convenience Stores, Brownie's Towing, Design Maintenance, Four Winds Farm, Fyne Line Construction, Kortko Insurance, Lasco Roofing, Northeast Carpet, Precision Automotive and 20/20 Air.
