GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (May 22, 2023) – It was a week to remember for Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing, not only hard charging their way through a stout High Limit Sprint Car Series field during action at Wayne County Speedway in Orrville, Ohio, on Tuesday, May 16, but eventually capping the stretch with a victory at the famed Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday, May 20. A milestone triumph, Brown’s win total at the Sprint Car Capital of the World now stands at 61, officially surpassing all-time great Doug Wolfgang on the win chart.
Brown’s Knoxville victory, accomplished from the inside of row four, was just as impressive as it was lucrative, utilizing an early race restart to blast around Austin McCarl in turns one and two, then taking command from Kerry Madsen in the very next set of corners. The win secured Brown a $5,000 share; his first victory of 2023.
As noted, Brown, ace of the Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mt. Dew Overdrive, HAWK Hunting, Ditzfeld Transfer, No. 21 sprint car, opened his recent week with a Tuesday night High Limit Sprint Car Series stop at Wayne County Speedway in Orrville, Ohio. Although forced to take a Series provisional, Brown was not deterred, eventually charging his way to fourth after starting 25th on the $32,023-to-win grid.
Other recent highlights include finishing seventh with the POWRi 410 sprint cars during a Friday night visit to Lee County Speedway in Donnellson, Iowa; Brown started tenth.
“In all, a great night at Knoxville and a great week for our Casey’s/FVP No. 21 team,” Brown stated. “Our efforts at Knoxville were strong all night. I was a little nervous about starting seventh, especially with so many great guys in front of me, but Chad, my Dad, JB, and Lath gave me a great car. The confidence took care of itself and I was able to put my car wherever I wanted.
“I’m very excited about where we are as a team right now,” Brown added. “Looking forward to building even more momentum.”
