Corpus Christi, Tx., (June 27th, 2009)
The South Texas Modified Championship Series returned to Corpus Christi’s South Texas Speedway for the 5th Annual Chance Brownlee Memorial benefiting the Shriners Hospital for Children. The Modifieds would be running round three of the 9-race series, with the Limited Modified competing in round two. With it’s success in round one the Limited Modifieds competed amongst themselves with a winner-take-all, “team race.”
The race was named after young Chance Brownlee, who lost his life at age 16 after being born with a heart defect. Chance was an employee of Corpus Christi Speedway with his mother, Marcia ,who has worked as head scorekeeper for both of the gulf coast area speedway’s.
Officers from Shriners Hospital were in attendance and recognized by the track, along with a silent auction of racing memorabilia, with proceeds going to the Shriners Hospital.
Also in action on the ¼ mile semi-banked clay oval were the Limited Late Models, Pure Stocks and Bombers, with nearly 100 cars, plus the Go-Karts filling the pits.
