Q & A
MMS: Congratulation on your 2018 Show me the Money Championship.
Bolen: Thanks… Montgomery is my home track and I enjoy racing there.
MMS: How Long have you raced.
Bolen: I Started racing go carts when I was 7 … so 23 years…. I’ve raced Bandeleros, Legend cars, NASCAR Late Model at Nashville, Southern Allstars Late Models and some ASA Southeastern tour also.
MMS: What was your favorite racecar
Bolen: We had a racecar we called “High Maintenance” that I finished 4th at the Snowflake and raced 15-20 times a year. Some folks will remember it as the car that burnt at Montgomery Motor Speedway.
MMS: We know you have a young family. How do you feel about your son Jase racing?
Bolen: That seems to be a regular question. I want whatever my kids want. If they want to race we will go racing … if they want to do something else than I guess we will try something else.
MMS: Favorite Monster Energy Cup Driver of all time and present:
Bolen: Well, all time would be Jeff Gordon. I met him in 1992 along with Darrell Waltrip and followed his career after that. My current driver is Martin Truex Jr.I like the way he races.
MMS: Do you have a Short track Hero?
Bolen: I always enjoyed watching Charlie Bradberry. Kind of sad that some of the young drivers don’t know who Bradberry is.
MMS: What are your Off-Season Racing plans?
Bolen: We have some new cars we are taking to 5 flags to run the “Snowflake” portion of the SnowBall Derby. and we will be taking the family to Disney World.
