(October
14, 2018) In the final race of a 15 year run with car
owners Bud and Denise Brinkman, Mount Vernon, Iowa ace Chad Simpson
wrote a storybook ending on Saturday night, October 13 in the
Lucas Oil MLRA Series finale at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland,
Missouri. Chad won his heat race in preliminary action and later
rolled off starting eighth on the grid in the 'Fall Nationals'
headliner. In the attrition-filled 40-lap main event, Chad drove
to the front and grabbed the point following a lap 28 restart.
After leading four circuits, Chad inherited the lead again with
only four laps remaining when leader Logan Martin hit the turn
three wall. He then beat Jack Sullivan, Raymond Merrill, Terry
Phillips, and Payton Looney to the checkered flag to record the
$5,500 triumph, which also secured Chad his second career Lucas
Oil MLRA Series Championship! Full results from the emotional
night at Wheatland can be viewed online at

Erb and runner-up Earl Pearson, Jr. At the 1/2-mile, semi-banked

(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.
