Bubba Pollard

Growing up, Pollard raced at Senoia Speedway in Senoia, Georgia, a track that his grandfather owned. He was invited on Roush Racing: Driver X in 2005 but did not win the contest, and besides for sporadic ARCA Re/Max Series starts, did not have the funding to compete on a national level.^[1]

During the 2010s, Pollard won the 2014 Southern Super Series championship, and also ran several premier late model events, winning the Kern County Raceway Park Winter Showdown in 2015 and 2016.^[2]

During the 2017 Snowball Derby, Noah Gragson nicknamed Pollard "Redneck Jesus" for his popularity in the short-track racing community and his success.^[1] Pollard later said that he does not aspire to move up to NASCAR but rather stay in the grassroots feel of the short track community.^[3]

On August 3, 2019, Pollard and Matt Craig battled for the win in a CARS Tour race at Hickory Speedway. Craig won the race, and upon parking his car on pit road after the race, Pollard was offered a hand gesture by Craig's father. Pollard got out of his car and fought Craig's father before local law enforcement separated the two; Pollard was later fined his $1,500 race winnings and was suspended for the next five CARS Tour events.^[4] In September 2019, Pollard won his second consecutive Canadian Short Track Nationals at Jukasa Motor Speedway, winning $75,000 CAD ($56,000 USD).^[5] In October 2019, Pollard ran for JR Motorsports in the ValleyStar Credit Union 300.^[6] The partnership bloomed from Pollard developing a friendship with JRM late model driver Josh Berry during the 2019 CARS Tour season.^[7]

To start off 2020, Pollard ran a tour-type Modified for NASCAR Cup Series driver Ryan Preece at the World Series of Asphalt at New Smyrna Speedway.^[8]

It was announced on March 9, 2020, that Pollard would make his debut in the ARCA Menards Series East, driving DGR-Crosley's No. 17 Ford in the race at Five Flags.^[9][10] The race was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but Pollard continued racing his super late model through the summer, scoring a Southern Super Series win at Five Flags.^[11] Pollard ventured to Jennerstown Speedway in Pennsylvania, winning a CARS/CRA co-sanctioned race.^[12] He also traveled to Wisconsin International Raceway for the ARCA Midwest Tour's Dixieland 250 and won his debut race at Citrus County Speedway.^[13]

Outside of his racing career, Pollard is a construction worker.^[1] Pollard also has a wife, Erin Pollard, and 3 daughters.
