NEWTON, NC –TMS Racing heads to fight it out at the brawl this weekend when they visit Hickory Motor Speedway for the 2007 Pepsi ‘Fall Brawl 250’. After having a strong run in the Bobby Isaac Memorial 200, TMS Racing and driver Chris Lewis look to put the pieces in place and pick up their first career Late Model Stock Car win.

“Our car was great last time out. We have continued to do our homework and believe we are coming back with an even stronger car for the Brawl,” stated Chris last week. “We had a top-three car for the Bobby Isaac race but we kicked ourselves and made a critical mistake at the halfway break. We learned our lesson and this whole team is ready to fight it out at that tough bullring,” continued Lewis. The team will get back on track this Sunday as Pepsi presents the Fall Brawl 250 at 1:30 p.m.
