TOLEDO-BASED PB FAB TEAM MAKES SNOWBALL DERBY
Toledo, Ohio--December 1, 2012: Bluffton, SC driver Brad Rogers, at the wheel of the Toledo, OH based PB Fabrication team, qualified 11th out of 60 cars and is in the field for Sunday's 45th Annual Snowball Derby at the Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida. The race is for template-bodied Late Model cars.
Rogers, who has competed in the last 3 Glass City 200's at Toledo behind the wheel of the PB Fab #0 outlaw Late Model, had a great qualifying run for the race during Friday evening's qualifying session. Brad's relationship with the team began several years ago when crew chief Nick Bailey, a former Toledo Late Model driver, was working with several NASCAR teams while residing in North Carolina and became friends with Rogers.
Good luck Brad, car owner Pete Bailey, Nick and the entire PB Fab crew in Sunday's race!
