Bubba Buys Florida Speedway

Syndicated radio host Bubba The Love Sponge and a group of investors have purchased the famed Ocala Speedway in Ocala, Florida. It’s the oldest track in the state dating back to 1952.

Floridaflagstand.com quotes Bubba, whose real name is Todd Clem, “I obviously bought this place as an investment, but also want to give back to the racers.”

Bubba is an avid racer himself and has raced at Ocala and other speedways in Florida during the past 10 years.

Of race track owners, Bubba says “Most park track owners are greedy sum-bags. They want to make a great living at the expense of the racers. Very few track owners want to give back, well those days are over at my track."

After a Monster Truck show this weekend, Ocala Speedway will close until a May 13th grand re-opening.

The Bubba The Love Sponge show airs on five radios and on-line at www.radioio.com.
