Grant and Zach have been working for the past several days at the Mississippi shop of Bragg Racing, preparing the BeasleyAllen.com Super Late Model race car for Sunday’s Rattler 250 race. That race, set to begin at 2 pm March 7th, will consist of 250 grueling laps around the 3/8 “bull ring” at Opp’s South Alabama Speedway. Grant took the win in the 2008 Rattler but the BeasleyAllen.com car left the track on the back of a tow truck last year, after Grant hit the wall hard coming out of turn 4.

The Rattler 250 is considered one of the top 10 Super Late Model races of the year, and will attract top racers from throughout the southeast. Last year’s winner Augie Grill is hoping to defend his 2009 win and many Snowball Derby competitors will make the Derby their first race of the year. Congressman Bobby Bright will return as Grand Marshall for the race. 

Grant & Zach will head to Opp Thursday for a pre-race practice session Friday before qualifying that evening. The race team will focus on the Super Late Model race at Opp and then turn its attention to ARCA testing at Texas Speedway, near Dallas the following Tuesday. After that, Grant & Zach will drive from Texas to the race shop in Charlotte where they will prepare the ARCA speedway car for testing at Talladega March 24th.
