Veteran short track racer Brandon Ward plans to compete for the championship in the Southern Modified Racing Series Presented By PASS and is excited for what the new series has to offer.
"I love driving the Modified cars and I'm glad to see them growing in the South," says Ward. "I think the fans will especially see some great and exciting racing when the Mods and the Super Late Models race together. From what we hear, it sounds like the competition will be tough. I just have to thank Will Spaugh, Kevin Powell, Jeff Day and everyone with Progressive Racing Engines and Precision Built Spindle for making it possible for us to make a run at the first SMRS championship."
The inaugural Southern Modified Racing Series Presented By PASS event is scheduled for Saturday, March 26 at Hickory Motor Speedway as part of the 11th Annual Easter Bunny 150 weekend.
