Chris Brown Continues Strong Start to ’17; Ark-La-Tex Next

Spring, Texas (02/28/17) – Chris Brown continued his fast start to the 2017 season by powering his Lone Star Hydro & Maintenance #21 MB Customs/ Durham Racing Engine Modified to a trio of Top-5 finishes over the weekend in United States Modified Touring Series action.

The opening round of a tripleheader weekend with the Summit Racing United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) Southern Region presented by Production Jars brought 47 cars to Jackson Motor Speedway (Byram, Mississippi) on Friday evening. Rolling off 4th in his heat race, Brown secured his spot into the opening night feature with a 2nd-place finish in his heat behind Trevor Egbert. Earning the 10th-starting position for the A-Main, Chris wheeled his way up to a runner-up finish behind Cade Dillard with Stormy Scott, Jason Hughes, and Trevor Egbert completing the Top 5.

Saturday afternoon brought 44 USMTS followers to Whynot Motorsports Park (Meridian, Mississippi) on Saturday for another chance at the $3,000 payday. Starting the night once again by posting a 2nd-place finish in his heat race, Brown earned the 10th-starting spot for the main event. Passing eight more cars, Chris reeled in a 2nd-place finish behind Cade Dillard with Johnny Scott, Stormy Scott, and Ricky Thornton Jr. trailing them across the finish line.

For the final night of the USMTS weekend Chris headed to Greenville Speedway (Greenville, Mississippi) on Sunday. Landing a 2nd-place finish in his heat race behind Stormy Scott, Brown earned the 4th-starting position for the $3,000-to-win finale. Racing in the Top 5 throughout the feature, Chris Brown ultimately registered a 5th-place finish behind Ricky Thornton Jr., Dereck Ramirez, Zack VanderBeek, and Tyler Wolff.

“We had a really good car all weekend, but we were just a tick off from where we needed to be to get the wins,” said Brown. “The competition on the tour is so stout this year, so to consistently be running in the Top 5 says a lot about our team. If we keep performing this way, I think we can really win a lot of races this year.”

Chris is currently in second in the USMTS Southern Region point standings. For full results from these events, please visit www.USMTS.com .
