What a great Memorial Day weekend at the races! Here at Anderson Subaru of Pensacola, we love racing, and there was plenty to see this Memorial Day weekend. So much rubber on the track to review, here's a quick rewind... Enjoy!
Blizzard Series: Five Flags Speedway, Pensacola, FL
Friday, May 24, 2013 - Locally, Pensacola's own Five Flags Speedway hosted the Blizzard Series. Anderson Subaru teamed up with Scott Carlson of Cantonment in the #21 car for the Super Late Models Rubber & Specialties 125. We had a good run but the track was dominated all night by Bubba Pollard and T.J. Reaid. Pollard's night started with a track record and unfortunately came to an end with a crash in turn 4. Reaid made the trip to victory lane and redeemed himself from the loss at the Snowball Derby last year. Five Flags Speedway Newslink.

The slight lead over rookie Munoz and all day race leader Reay just before the wreck, secured the brick kiss for TK. Full USA Today article.
NASCAR: CocaCola 600 - Charlotte Motor Speedway
Sunday, May 26, 2013 -Multiple engine failures and a strange race pause due to a fallen TV cable mark the odd events of this year's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte. NASCAR paused the race after the cable incident, unprecedentedly allowing the teams with damage to get their cars back to racing shape. Kyle Busch and Dale Earnhardt Jr. both ended the night early in the garage due to catastrophic engine failures. In the end, luck ran out for Kenseth and Kurt Busch (both of whom had good chances throughout), sending Kevin Harvick to victory lane and his 21st career win. Here is a quick recap from NASCAR…
