SOUTH PLATTSBURGH, NY - Bucko Branham of Plattsburgh, NY - the winningest Sportsman/Limited Late Model driver in Airborne Speedway history - was presented the prestigious Speedway Illustrated "Real Racer" award as determined by national balloting, by publisher Karl Fredrickson on Taylor Rental/Golden's Night.

 

The official plaque came with a letter of commendation from Ken Schrader and was bestowed upon Branham for contributions to, energy spent - and achievements - stock car racing.

 

No one personifies the dedication, competitive spirit and love of our sport more," Fredrickson said.

 

"It's unbelievable," Branham said. "I have so much family support and some of the best sponsors ever."

 

Branham drives the No. 20 J&S Steel Limited Late Model sponsored by Bud Lite, Marsha Homes, Liquor & Wine Warehouse, Econo Lodge, Casella, Plattsburgh Paving, Precision Auto Care and Daniels Signs.

 

Branham was the Airborne Sportsman champion in 2008 and 2009 and has recorded 32 wins since 2000, including two wins this season. He began his racing career in 1982.
