Majeski masters South Alabama for third Rattler win

By Brandon Reed Reporter

By this point, Ty Majeski must not have any fear of snakes.

On Sunday, he powered to his third career Rattler 250 asphalt Super Late Model victory at South Alabama Speedway in Opp, Alabama, opening the 2020 season for the Southern Super Series.

The winner traditionally has a live rattlesnake draped across their shoulders in victory lane, and the winner’s trophy is adorned with a stuffed rattlesnake.

In scoring the win, the Seymour, Wisconsin native matched Georgia Racing Hall of Fame member Ronnie Sanders for all time wins in the 44th annual event at the 4/10-mile asphalt raceway. Majeski also scored wins in the Rattler in 2016 and 2017.

The race was originally set to be held in March, but was pushed back to May due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Majeski led 133 laps in the event, squaring off time and again with Senoia, Georgia’s Bubba Pollard, who went to victory lane the day before in the Pro Late Model Baby Rattler event. Majeski would take the lead for the final time with 52 laps to go, and scooted away to the win.

Giovanni Bromante finished in second, with Pollard in third, Stephen Nasse in fourth and Sammy Smith in fifth.

Jeremy Pate, Daniel Dye, Hudson Halder, Jeff Fultz and Jackson Boone rounded out the top ten.

The Southern Super Series is scheduled to be back in action on 5 Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida on June 25. For more information, visit SouthernSuperSeries.com.
