Montieth Edges His Way Closer and Closer Back to Victory Lane

After an upsetting previous weekend with the World of Outlaws, Montieth knew he had to bounce his Triple X Chassis back from that 23^rd finishing spot, after running out of fuel on the final lap.  Brian was up to 6^th position when the white flag dropped, but ran out of fuel and was unable to cross the finish line. “Costly,” was the word car own Jerry Parrish used to described the night.

Mother Nature won again this season, after Williams Grove and Lincoln Speedway were forced to cancel another time this season due to rain last Saturday and Sunday. Brian was to be one of the contenders who were to be competing for the Morgan Cup that was to be held after Saturday’s race. This has been rescheduled and will take place during the Summer Nationals when the Outlaws return again in July.

On Friday night, the rain held off in Mechanicsburg, PA and what a fine nice of racing it turned out to be. Brian, who started 6^th in his heat and finished 4^th, qualified for a 10^th starting spot in the feature.  Montieth held his ground and slowly worked his way up through the field. With 5 laps to go, Brian took over the 3^rd position and quickly tracked down 2^nd on the 24^th lap. He came up short of less than a second of the leader when the checkered flag dropped.

Saturday night, the Premier Auto Works Race Team raced at Lincoln Speedway. Montieth finished 6^th in his heat after starting 7^th qualifying for the A-Main. He started 15^th in the feature, but couldn’t avoid hitting an accident in turn 1 on the start. He was able to rejoin the field and start 22^nd.  He ended up fighting his was back into the top ten to finish in 8^th.

The Pennsylvania Keystone Cup is set to start on Wednesday, May 25 where Brian plans on running at Grandview Speedway. Be sure to follow Brian on Twitter for the latest updates during the racing night.
