Matt Tifft set to return to racing after recovery from brain surgery

Matt Tifft is returning to racing this weekend at Chicago. Tifft, 20, underwent surgery for the removal of a brain tumor in July.

Tifft, who had what is known as a low-grade glioma, will drive the Red Horse Racing No. 11 in the Camping World Truck Series this weekend, according to a team release.

"I'm excited to get back behind the wheel," Tifft said. "I've really missed being at the track, so I'm very happy to be back and able to race the No. 11 Tundra.”
