How To Watch the Rattler 250 from South Alabama on Racing America

Racing America will have live coverage all weekend long from the Rattler at South Alabama Speedway. From local divisions on Friday night all the way to the Southern Super Series’ Rattler 250 on Sunday, Racing America will be the place to watch all of the action if you cannot make the trip to South Alabama.

All you need is a subscription to Racing America to watch racing Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 11-13.

Friday’s broadcast will feature South Alabama Speedway’s local Mini-Cups, Mini-Sportsmen, Cuplites, Coyotes, Streets Stocks and Super Stocks. Racing is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. CT/8 p.m. ET Friday night.

Saturday’s programming is headlined by the Grasshopper Pro Late Model 125, better known as the “Baby Rattler.” Modifieds and Roadrunners will also be in action. Following a schedule change for Saturday’s racing card, the green flag on the Baby Rattler will fly at 2 p.m. CT/3 p.m. ET.

The main event, the Rattler 250, takes place on Sunday featuring the stars of the Southern Super Series. Racing will begin at 2 p.m. CT/3 p.m. ET, with Pitside Live pre-race coverage starting on Racing America at 11:30 a.m. CT/12:30 p.m. ET.

WHO WILL BE RACING AT THE RATTLER 250?

Any conversation about entries for the Rattler 250 must begin with the driver who has won the event more times than anyone else. Ty Majeski made history one year ago by becoming the first four-time winner of the race.

All told, Majeski has led 708 laps in six Rattler starts. He will look to make more history this weekend, attempting to become the first driver to win three consecutive Rattlers.

Of course, there will be plenty of competition trying to deny Majeski that honor. Southern Super Series champions Bubba Pollard, Stephen Nasse and Jake Garcia are among the entries confirmed, as well as 2021 Snowball Derby winner Chandler Smith.

Other Super Late Model standouts entered for the Rattler 250 include former Winchester 400 winner Carson Hocevar and two-time PASS National Champion Derek Griffith.

THE HISTORY OF THE RATTLER 250

The first Rattler took place in 1974, and the event has grown in stature ever since as one of the marquee short track events in the Deep South.

Past winners of the event include 1970 Daytona 500 winner Pete Hamilton, current NASCAR Cup Series competitors Harrison Burton and Christopher Bell, as well as short track legends such as Dave Mader, III, Ronnie Sanders, Bobby Gill and Bubba Pollard.

2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion Chase Elliott won the Baby Rattler in 2011. Ronnie Sanders, Augie Grill, Casey Roderick and Bubba Pollard have won both the Rattler 250 and the Pro Late Model Rattler 125 during their careers.
