Hightower Set To Go Trucking At Eldora

 Nineteen-year-old Brandon Hightower will see his dreams come true on July 19 when he enters the fifth annual Eldora Dirt Derby with the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Eldora Speedway.

The Louisiana native will be behind the wheel of the Timmons Truck Center No. 1 Chevrolet Silverado.

“I’ve been blessed to get some amazing opportunities in racing, but this opportunity to run a NASCAR Truck at Eldora is something that I know I will remember for the rest of my life,” Hightower said. “Our team is going into the event with hopes of a top five. We’ve worked hard to gain sponsorship from some great companies, and I definitely want to give them the solid finish that they deserve.”

It will definitely be an outing that will see worlds colliding for Hightower. His background is in dirt racing, while the past year has seen him getting his feet wet in the pavement ranks of NASCAR.

“No matter what the outcome of this event might be, I know it’s something that I’ll never forget,” Hightower says. “I’ve never had the opportunity to race at Eldora Speedway, so I figured there’s no better time than when NASCAR is there.”
