ORONO, ON (September 19, 2017)- Earning the overall title in a national or provincial short track travelling race series is an impressive accomplishment. Achieving that level of success in back-to-back seasons before your 20th birthday is a goal that most drivers will never reach.

Orono, Ontario’s Brandt Graham made his debut with the Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup Series at just 17 years of age. Before the end of his first season on the tour, the youngster had earned a place in the record books as the youngest main event winner in series history and was also named rookie of the year. After his sophomore term, the second-generation speedster was crowned the group’s overall champion at the age of 18. After his fourth place finish in the Basement Stores 100 on  Saturday, September 16, at Flamboro Speedway, Graham clinched his second consecutive championship.

After setting fast-time during qualifying, the #14 machine started in second place on the grid as result of the fan-participation ‘Fast 5’ draw. With the 100-lap advertised race distance split into a pair of segments, Graham and his team knew where they’d need to finish in order to claim the title. They signed-in at the pit gate with less than a 10-point lead in the standings and after the checkered flag, came away with just an 11-point cushion on the driver in second place.

“We worked hard all year to get where we are right now and capturing a second straight championship is an excellent award for the team,” said Brandt Graham, in victory lane. “It would have been great to punctuate the title-clinching event with another race win, but that doesn’t make the accomplishment any less rewarding. At the start of the year, we were looking to earn another crown and it feels great to have achieved that goal.”

Brandt Graham and the entire Graham Racing team would like to thank their sponsors, crew, family, friends and fans for their unwavering support throughout the 2017 campaign. The team will take some time to unwind and enjoy the honour that comes with being able to repeat as Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup Series champions, before making their plans for the 2018 season.
