Brookfield, CT - The past few weeks have been a time that young Bubba Broderick will never forget. In that time period the defending Lucas Oil ASCS Patriot Region Rookie of the Year walked away from what could be labeled as the tours wreck of the year, solidified a top five championship run and graced victory lane – twice.

 

Coming into the July 11th program at the Genesee Speedway, Broderick had yet to reach victory lane in the 360 sprint car ranks. Following a rain out at the Woodhull Raceway, the Broderick team pulled into the Genesee pit area for the first time this season. After winning his heat race from the sixth position and set his sights on the feature event. Bubba had little trouble in the feature, taking the lead on lap two and cruising home to his first career full sized sprint car win.

 

Broderick's success continued on a couple of weeks later. The 19 year old Connecticut driver traveled to the Arcade International Raceway for a tough ASCS battle on July 24th. In short it was a great night for the team.

 

They barely made it to the event following a horrible wreck at the Cornwall Motor Speedway in Ontario less than a week earlier. Following that devastating flip the team worked feverishly to make it to Arcade on time. Once there they started winning right out of the hauler. Broderick claimed his heat race win from the pole, which placed him third on the A-Main starting grid. Bubba conquered the field, taking the feature event by six seconds.

 

"I can't believe we finally did it," stated Broderick in Victory Lane. "We knew we were getting close and it was just a matter of time."

 

Broderick would continue: "I thought someone was right there. I have a new blower in my helmet and the motor makes it seem like someone is always on the inside. After what happened at Cornwall I had to put that out of my mind though."

 

Since his initial ASCS conquest, the Broderick team has participated in events at the Black Rock Speedway and Fulton Speedway. At Black Rock on August 7th Broderick would finish 9th in the A-Main after starting 18th. The following night at Fulton the team started on the pole and would finish sixth.

 

The Broderick Team now sits fourth in the season long Lucas Oil, ASCS Patriot Sprints point standings. They finished eighth in the A-Verdi King of Central New York standings.

 

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