Brayden Watson Fourth
and Sixth in Jackson 100 Weekend!
(September
25, 2022) Brayden Watson and his #93w team made the short
trek to Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown, Indiana on September
23-24 for the 43rd edition of the 'Jackson 100.' The Open Wheel

a $1,000 top prize. In Friday's weekend opener, Brayden placed
third in his heat race and later started ninth on the grid in
the A-Main, which was pushed back to late Saturday afternoon due
to persistent rain showers.
The Bedford, Indiana youngster blasted past a handful of competitors
to land in the fourth finishing position of the postponed feature
behind only victor Ryan Thomas, Dillon Nusbaum, and Cole Falloway.
At Brownstown on Saturday evening in a similar $1,000 to win show,
Brayden ran third in his heat race and climbed to as high as third
in the running order late in the main event before slipping to
the sixth spot at the waving of the checkered flag. Complete results
