Bubba Gale will be soon be inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame also referred to as the Alabama Racing Hall of Fame, located in Talladega, Alabama. Mr. Gale looks back at his early years and tells many stories looking back at the people in his life and the fun he had along with the way racing soapbox derby, go-carts & motorcycles before he ever drove a stock car. When Mr. Gale did strap into a Stock Car, he dominated the short track racing scene in his driving days throughout FL & AL Wining Track Titles at 5 Flags Speedway and Mobile. Mr. Gale changed the game in short track racing as a chassis tuner when he created Galeforce Suspension.
Cale Gale was definitely a chip off the ole block to his father cutting his teeth at the track in Mobile AL winning races and track titles in multiple divisions. Gale is so proud of all his father’s accomplishments and shares a few stories of his own about racing with his father. The younger Gale quickly rose from short track racing to the top 3 series in NASCAR winning in the Truck Series in 2012 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Cale was an active driver until 2017 when he turned in the steering wheel for a Racing Engineering career. But, is his driving career really over?

Carter along with working for the Gales has been a fixture in the short track scene from Alabama to the coast of NC.

Mr. Gale had a very positive influence on many short trackers to help raise their level of competition and seen those young racers grow into who we see as top drivers today in the racing game with some making it all the way to the top three series in NASCAR. And we surprised Mr. Gale with a couple of call-ins.
