(September
16, 2018) Chad Simpson found himself in the pit area
at the renowned Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa from September
13-15 for the 15th edition of the 'Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville
Nationals,' which kicked off with a pair of $7,000 to win preliminary
shows. On Thursday night, Chad finished third in his heat race
before placing third in the 25-lapper behind only victor Tyler
Erb and runner-up Earl Pearson, Jr. At the 1/2-mile, semi-banked

event.
(September
9, 2018) Brinkman Motorsports had planned to unload their
#25 machine from September 6-8 at the hallowed high-banks of Eldora
Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio to vie for the prestigious globe trophy
in the 48th Annual 'World 100.' However, with the rainy remnants
of Tropical Storm Gordon postponing Friday and Saturday's action
at the "Big E" until October 12-13, only Thursday night's
$10,000 to win Twin 25s escaped the wrath of Mother Nature. In
the wee hours of Friday morning after a lengthy rain delay, Chad
Simpson timed in 32nd fastest during the qualifying session before
scoring an impressive win in his heat race. After starting fifth
on the grid in his 25-lapper and running up front early, Chad
eventually slipped back to seventh in the final finishing order.
