CHRIS MADDEN RETURNS
TO BWRC HOUSE CAR IN 2018!
(December
2, 2017) Gray Court, South Carolina star
Chris Madden and Hall of Fame car builder Barry Wright jointly
confirmed today that they will team up for the 2018 racing season.
Chris will return to pilot the BWRC House Car next year, as
he previously did in 2002, 2003, and portions of the 2005-2006
seasons. The newly-formed team will most likely follow a "pick
and choose" type of schedule in 2018, but a return to the
World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series tour for Madden
has not been completely ruled out.
Chris' familiar #44 will adorn the doors of the
BWRC cars, which will be powered by Clements engines and sport
sponsorship from Century Plastics, Millwood Plumbing, Henderson
Amusement, Harrod Logging, Davis Diesel Service, and C&H
Paving. The potent cars will be housed and maintained at BWRC
by Barry Wright, Lance Wright, and a soon-to-be-hired crewman.
