On Saturday, September 22, the action shifted to the Bluegrass Speedway in Bardstown , Kentucky .  The O'Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass Dirtcar Series sanctioned the annual ' Bluegrass 50' and a $5,000 top prize was up for grabs.  Justin ran fourth in his competitive heat race, which earned him the rights to the thirteenth starting spot for the 50-lap main event.  During the course of the 'Bluegrass 50,' Justin sliced and diced his way past eight cars en route to a solid fifth place performance behind winner Mike Marlar, Michael England, Scott James, and Bryan Barber.  You can view complete results from these two races online at www.ponderosaspeedway.net and www.battleofthebluegrass.com!

“It felt good to get another win this year,” simply stated Rattliff this week via telephone.  “I hadn’t been in victory lane for awhile, so I was excited to win at Ponderosa last Friday night.  Then on Saturday, our car was really pretty good at Bardstown too.  We passed some good cars and finished fifth.  I am really looking forward to racing at Columbus this coming weekend.  We ran strong down there earlier in the season and I really like that place.”

The Justin Rattliff Racing team will be back in action on September 28-29 at the Columbus Speedway in Columbus , Mississippi .  The “Baddest Bullring in the South” will play host to the 18th Annual ‘Magnolia State 100.’  In one of the biggest races of the year in the South, a $25,007 top prize is up for grabs this weekend.  Qualifying and heat race action will take place tonight, September 28, while the B-Mains and the 100-lap feature event are scheduled for Saturday evening, September 29.  You can learn more about this year’s version of the ‘Magnolia State 100’ online at www.columbusspeedway.net!
