Checking
In With Bubba Stanton
PITTSBORO, N.C. February 4, 2015: We’re less than two
months away from the kickoff for the PDRA’s inaugural
tour. Teams are in high gear getting things in place for
the season opener, the Texas Nationals March 19-21 where
the 2014 Champions will have their first opportunity to
sport the coveted number 1 on their cars. While being the
reigning champ has its perks, that number 1 can also act
like a bullseye with everyone gunning to put themselves in
that spot this season. Reigning Pro Extreme Champ, Bubba
Stanton, is about as humble and unassuming as they come.
If his car didn’t portray his elevated status, there would
be none the wiser.
As the Dallas, Tx. event quickly approaches, Stanton plans
to let his drag racing persona continue to fly under the
radar while his car does the talking.
“We’re going to a new Brad Anderson Hemi that he just came
out with,” Stanton said of his off-season changes. “And we
had the car back at Jerry Bickel to be updated. I know
everybody’s updating this winter. We’re just trying to
stay at least to where we were last year, maybe gain a
little edge.
“I think the records are going to drop. I think
everybody’s going to get faster. There’s a lot of new cars
coming out, a lot of new engine programs coming out.”

Although Stanton will undoubtedly be
tough to beat, the Pro Extreme class
promises to provide more competition
for him than ever. With names like
Todd Tutterow joining the ranks again,
as well as the ever-formidable Brandon
Snider and Jason Scruggs, PX
competitors had better bring their
A-game each and every event.
For Stanton that means focusing all
his energies on the PDRA and defending
his second World championship. “We’re
just focused on the PDRA, going to try
to make all 10 races and try to come
out as good as I did last year. We’re
back wide open now, trying to get the
car back ready because March is going
to be here before we know it.”
The PDRA’s premier class, as well as
all the PDRA action, will broadcast
live March 19-21 through the Motor
Mania Live Feed. Catch all the
