Brandon Thomson...

[Mark Keeler]

After earning the Dodge Development ride for today's ARCA Race... Orlando Speedworlds own Brandon Thomson Qualified 6th out of 43 cars in his first attempt in ARCA!

Anyone who has watched Brandon racing around OSW whether it's a Legend, Sportsman, Late Model or even that one time in the Modified, knows how much talent this kid has...

Good Luck Brandon!

Not sure yet what happened but Brandon finished 20th, 7 laps down after leading the race at one point... Nice runs by Patrick Sheltra and Bryan Silas...

Do you realize if Alli Owens married Nur Ali, she'd be Alli Ali !!

I used to love watching Brandon in a Legend at OSW. That kid is a hard-nosed racer, and will hold his own against any body in the business.

I wish the fans who "don't like Legends" could have seen some of the races with Brandon, Patrick Conrad, Jeremy Colangelo, Chelsea Shillig and others.

Best of luck Brandon!
