Story By: TYLER ALTMEYER / BRIAN BROWN RACING – GRAIN VALLEY, MO – Some would argue that there’s no such thing as perfect, but for “Blackjack” Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing, their performance at I-70 Speedway in Odessa, Missouri, certainly challenges that thought, concluding their POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League start in perfect fashion which included a $5,000 payday – the second POWRi score of Blackjack’s career.
Brown, ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mt. Dew Overdrive, Ditzfeld Transfer, Hawk Hunting, No. 21 sprint car, led every circuit of the caution-free, 20-lap contest, launching the evening’s preliminary card with the fastest time of the night, racing on to score a victory in his respective heat race. The win was Brown’s second of the season and his first in the Show-Me State – the first occurring at the Sprint Car Capital of the World, Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa.
“First of all, I want to give continued thoughts and prayers to Carter Holt and his entire family. He was injured in the 305 portion of the program and that’s something we never want to see,” Brown was quick to mention. “Overall, this was the best night we had all year. We unloaded a very fast Casey’s | FVP No. 21 car. Quick time overall and won the heat from fourth…got the lead on lap one of the A-Main and we were great from the start. We were able to navigate traffic and eventually get the win. Just an incredible effort.
“A special thanks to Chad’s brother’s team out of Topeka, Kansas, for bringing his rig to pick us up at our shop, as our primary rig was still in Pennsylvania planning to race there last weekend. Great job by Chad, Nate, and Lath all night long. Also, a special thanks to my primary guys JB and Devin for doing all the prep work on the car we ran before we left for Pennsylvania. It took a village for this one and we were happy to get the win. Looking forward to getting to Williams Grove Speedway for the National Open.”
ON DECK:
Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2024 campaign with Williams Grove Speedway’s National Open on Friday and Saturday, October 4-5.
