Friday, September 02, 2011 – Chad Brachmann of Sanborn, NY won the Mighty Taco Modified main AND HIS FIRST 358 MODIFIED TITLE at Ransomville Speedway!!!! Brachmann came from eleventh place to the point position on lap thirty-three and quickly pulled away from the field aboard the fifty lap main.

This place is awesome,” said Brachmann in victory lane. “The track is consistent – the track management does a great job. It’s so awesome to win a title here and be in the same group as Bicknell, Burley ,and the Johnsons.”
Brachmann claimed his second win of the season aboard his Mighty Taco/Powertrip/FindItQuick.com sponsored #3 entry.
