The ARCA/CRA Super Series will head south for the JEGS 100, one of its Southern Tour events, this Saturday at Gresham Motorsports Park, located in Jefferson, GA.
Gresham Motorsports Park, formally known as Peach State Speedway, went through a multi-million dollar renovation three years ago that made that facility the premier short track in the country and is the home for the World Crown 300, one of the top Super Late Model events in the country.
Saturday’s event has attracted a stellar field of late model competitors led by top late model racer and Georgia native Bubba Pollard. Pollard got the win in last year’s CRA event at Gresham, taking the lead after passing early leader and fellow Georgia native T.J. Reaid on lap 58. Pollard would hold off a hard charging Augie Grill first and then Reaid in several late restarts to get the victory, one of 19 in a late model last year. Reaid would finish in second followed by Ryan Blaney in third, Daniel Hemric in fourth and David Odell in fifth.
Pollard is having another good season in in his JEGS sponsored machine in 2012, he is leading the Five Flags Speedway Blizzards Series standings and the Gulf Coast Championship standings and won the Lee Fields Memorial last Sunday at Mobile International Speedway.

Benjamin picked up a win with the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour on the famous High Banks of Winchester Speedway in May, and then followed that up with a win with the ARCA/CRA Super Series at Lucas Oil Raceway on July 27th.
