Brandon Hightower returned to Victory Lane on Sunday evening with a $2,000 Louisiana Late Model Series triumph at Thunder Valley Speedway. While it wasn’t his first win of the season, it was his first-career win with the series and came aboard his Timmons Truck Center No. B52 Rocket Chassis/ FV Recycling Super Late Model.
“It’s pretty awesome to get my first Louisiana Late Model Series win, and to have to outrun a guy like Robbie Stuart, makes it that much more special,” Hightower said. “The first half of the year with the Super Late Model we battled a lot of bad luck and mechanical failures, but this car is running really well right now.
“A special ‘thank you’ goes out to my family, my sponsors, my team, and all of my family for busting their tails to help keep me turning circles.”
Saturday night saw Brandon Hightower continue his 2019 season as he followed the Louisiana Late Model Racing Series to Chatham Speedway (Chatham, Louisiana), where he was competing in a field of 24 entries. Reeling in a Top-5 finish in the feature, Brandon crossed the finish line in the fifth position behind Mason Jordan, Tanner Kellick, Jon Mitchell, and Robbie Stuart.
On Sunday evening at Thunder Valley Speedway (Glenmora, Louisiana), Hightower survived a scrape with the wall in the feature to capture his first-career Louisiana Late Model Series victory. Outrunning Robbie Stuart, Brady Walton, Mason Jordan, and Chris Buhler, Brandon earned a $2,000 payday for his winning performance.
He now has three wins this season. |
