Brandon had his best race and finish in the JEGS CRA Racing Series race held at Anderson Motor Speedway, Anderson, Indiana, on Saturday. On a hot and muggy night, Brandon had already qualified for the race as it was previously rained out in June, and started in 3rd position. Fighting his way on a small and tight track, he was never any further back than 4th place, and ended up finishing the Race in 2ND with a very loose car and a good battle from the car in running in 3rd for the last 15 laps. Next race is at Illiana Speedway, Schererville, Indiana, this Saturday, July 16, 2011, bring on the Win!!

It was certainly an interesting and productive run for the #9 at Dixie Motor Speedway, Birch Run, and Michigan for the 3rd race of the JEGS CRA Late Model Series. Brandon qualified 3rd (.79) seconds from the pole and after the invert started in 5th position. With some very hard fought battles Brandon was able to stay in the top 5 the whole race until the last lap when all hell seems to break loose with some of the drivers and Brandon was spun in corner 2 and therefore ended up in 15th position but remained on the lead lap. So now it is on to Anderson, Indiana on July 9, for the rain-out race from June, where Brandon has already qualified and will start in 3rd spot.

The boys then drove through the night in order to get Brandon back for the OSCAAR race at Mosport on Saturday night. Brandon had never raced Mosport so it was definitely a learning experience, and after much fine tuning to the car, Brandon was able to place in the top three in both heats. He started 3rd in the feature, but as his car was better on the long runs, after many caution filled laps Brandon was finally able to get up to 2nd and challenge his uncle Glen, but with less than 10 laps left was unable to complete the challenge and finished 2nd.

Brandon had some fun and exciting racing in his OSCAAR on the weekend at the 1st OSCAAR race of the season at Sunset Speedway on May 22, 2011. During Heat #1, Brandon started in 6th position and quickly made his way up to 3rd battling for a few laps with 48 Dwayne Baker and #22, Uncle Glenn Watson, unfortunately contact with Baker in corner 3-4 in the last lap resulted in Brandon spinning prior to the checker flag. During Heat #2, it was all Brandon who took the lead during the first lap, and never looked back. Brandon then started outside pole in the feature, made the pass on the “00” of Wayne Isaacs, and took a good early lead for 35 laps, but when a caution came out Brandon had to pit as the car was really loose entering and exiting the corners. After pitting and starting at the back of the lead lap cars, Brandon was making his way back up the field when he was unable to check up when Isaacs got loose in from of him on Lap 42, resulting in Brandon getting a flat tire and having to pit again. On the restart, he again quickly made his way back up to 3rd but was unable to catch Glenn or Baker both of whom had checked away from the field, so Brandon finished 3rd and had a lot of fun!! Now we are off to Columbus, Ohio, this weekend for the 2nd race of the Jegs Crate Late Model tour.
