(2002-2020)

Chris & Brian Faria Memorial

Champions

 

(2012 and 2013 these years there were two races Night #1 and Night #2)

 

Chris Faria was and up and coming driver who was the youngest of five children to Danny Sr. & Ariet Faria. He grew up on their farm in Tipton and was known as the prankster of the family. Chris unfortunately lost his life at the age off 21 during a farming accident and his memory has been kept alive with a memorial race at the Thunderbowl Raceway ever since.

 

Brian Faria was the oldest of the five Faria children and was taken from us on January of 2006 during an accident while driving on the highway. Brian enjoyed helping out with the track preparation at Thunderbowl, as he drove the water truck and the grader among other things. The Chris and Brian Faria Memorial race has become a cornerstone of the track schedule and is always a special night for everyone with the Thunderbowl Raceway.
