CONCORD, N.C. — With only a few short months remaining until the start of the racing season, Wight Motorsports Inc. is hard at work preparing for competition in the NASCAR Pinty’s Series.
After a very successful four race stint last season, WMI and Stayner, Ontario driver Brandon Watson will compete full time in the NASCAR Pinty’s Series.
Watson made his Pinty’s Series debut last season subbing for an injured Mark Dilley at Flamboro Speedway in Millgrove, Ontario. In an impressive performance, he just missed a top-five finish coming home sixth. Watson also competed in the final three events at Delaware (Ontario) Speedway collecting two top-five results including a runner-up finish.
Watson and WMI also worked together at the 2021 Snowball Derby in Florida. In an event that sees the top late model competitors from all over North America converge at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Fla. to do battle, Watson was among the fastest cars on track. Running in the top 10 until the late stages, Watson finished an impressive14th in the 37-car field.
The RGC Sports Group is representing Brandon Watson and will be creating partnerships surrounding this program with WMI.
Brandon Watson will pilot the No. 9 Chevrolet for WMI and joins a multi-car effort this season.
