Mark Whitener Backs into $2k Payday at Bubba Raceway Park

by Ben Shelton
MIDDLEBURG, Florida (October 22) - Mark Whitener didn't cross the finish line in the first position in Saturday night's $2,000-to-win event at Bubba Raceway Park (Ocala, Florida) in his #58 Big Frog Motorsports/Dave's Towing/B&B Produce Late Model, but by the time that post race technical inspection was completed he was awarded the win.

The weekend started on a sour note on Friday night, when a broken rear-end in practice forced the team to go to their underpowered, Crate Late Model for Saturday's program.

Heat race action on Saturday evening didn't see much of an improvement in Whitener's luck as a broken, right-rear brake caliper, while leading the heat race forced him pit side. As a result Mark started 12th on the grid for the feature, and had advanced to the 3rd position, when he made contact with Kyle Bronson, which resulted in Whitener getting sent to the tail. Over the remainder of the event Mark rebounded to a second place finish, but in post-race inspection the winner was found to have an illegal spoiler height. As a result Mark Whitener and Big Frog Motorsports were awarded the victory, which marked their 11th triumph of the 2013 season.

This Saturday, October 26th the team will once again travel to Bubba Raceway Park (Ocala, Florida), where they plan to enter a Weekly Racing Series Event. For more information on the event, please visit www.BubbaRacewayPark.com .
