This Saturday, Bubba’s 33 makes its NASCAR debut, as the B33-branded No. 31 car races in the Suburban Propane 300 and Bush’s Beans Qualifying, part of the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway.
The race airs Saturday, April 11 from 7:30–10:00 PM ET on The CW Network. Driven by rising NASCAR talent Blaine Perkins, the No. 33 car will compete on one of the sport’s most intense stages. Bristol’s high-banked, concrete surface and tight layout make it one of the smallest and fastest-action tracks in NASCAR, where starting position—determined during qualifying—can significantly impact race results.
This marks the first time ever a Bubba’s 33 car makes an appearance in a race, which represents a milestone debut for the brand in a major, points-paying NASCAR event.
“This is an exciting opportunity to introduce Bubba’s 33 to millions of race fans in a bold, unforgettable way,” said Kirsten Smith, Director of Field Marketing. “Bristol is one of the most electrifying tracks in NASCAR. We’re proud to be part of such a high-energy event as we prepare to open Tennessee’s first location in Murfreesboro, later in 2026, and celebrate our partnership with the American Eagle Foundation, based in Kodak, TN.”
