NIAGARA FALLS, ONTARIO (December 31, 2017) In third place in the 2017 Joe’s Transmission TNT Super Series points chase is Chris VanBaalen from Wellandport, Ontario.

He earned it with a consistent run in 2017 both in qualifying and going rounds. At 532 points, he was only six points ahead of fourth place and only 18 points out of second. This is VanBaalen's fourth time in the top five in the past six seasons.

"I have to thank my parents (Pete and Sherry) along with Matt and Sherri Devries at Matts Auto Service," said VanBaalen. "And all the sponsors who make the TNT series the best sportsman series around."

VanBaalen drove his 1989 509 cid Chevy powered Mustang in 2017. Word on the street is that the car has a new owner. Perhaps his Monte Carlo will see new life in 2018.
