The Fall Brawl event has become a very popular stock car racing event in central Indiana with each feature winner getting an event signature trophy that includes a pair of boxing gloves.
“Pretty awesome to get our seventh Fall Brawl win tonight,” remarked Fisher Jr. in victory lane. “The car really came to life there about 15 laps in and I was able to use the outside to get the win. These guys in this series are a great bunch of racers, so to beat them means a lot. I love racing here at Lucas Oil Raceway, I now have seven pairs of the boxing gloves that go with the Fall Brawl wins. I want to thank Ken Young for letting me drive this car and get the win for him. Thanks to everyone who helped us and our sponsor on this car Yuengling, we couldn’t have done it without them!”
