Bubba Bags $75k in Second-Straight CSTN Win at Jukasa September 3, 2019 Miscellaneous HALDIMAND, ON – Bubba Pollard has won the 2019 edition of the Canadian Short Track Nationals (CSTN) along with a cheque for $75,000.00. It is Pollard’s second trip to Victory Lane at the 1/2-mile Jukasa Motor Speedway oval with his first visit coming in the inaugural edition of the CSTN in 2018. Pollard, from Senoia, Georgia and one of the best-known short track racers in North America, took the lead on lap 238 of the richest short track race in Canada and then stretched his lead over Eddie MacDonald (Rowley, MA), the polesitter for the race, who crossed the finish line second. Macdonald, however, was disqualified in post-race tech for an ignition box infraction, moving Matt Pritko (London, ON) into the second-place finish – the top finishing Canadian in the 41-car field. JR Fitzpatrick (Cambridge, ON) was third, Colin Garrett (South Boston, VA) fourth, and Brandon Watson (Stayner, ON) rounded out the top five finishers. The starting lineup (left side) and race results (right side) follow: Winners of the Pro Late Model qualifying heat races earlier in the day were Jake Sheridan (Mt.
