Champion deals

A midweek deal allowed former and reigning champions Mat Summerfield and Ryan Smith to become late extra entries for the first round of this year’s BTRA Truck Racing campaign at Brands Hatch. “This time last week I was grumpy and miserable because I wasn’t going racing in 2018, but it all came together midweek,” said Summerfield. Quadruple champion Summerfield and reigning title holder Smith took third and fourth in the opener.
