Inside Line Promotions – GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (Nov. 13, 2018) – Brian Brown produced a strong season in 2018, winning eight races to go with 28 top fives and 38 top 10s.
Statistically, Brown had his best season ever at the famed Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, where he won seven of the 410ci winged sprint car features – including four in a row at one point. He also added a 360ci winged sprint car triumph at the half-mile oval.
“We didn’t race for points at Knoxville this year so it was great to be so strong there almost every time out,” he said. “We’ve won a lot of races at Knoxville throughout the years, but this year we felt like no matter what we had a consistent opportunity to win every time we showed up. Chad and the guys gave me a great car and it showed almost every race at Knoxville.”
This year also marked the ninth consecutive season with at least seven triumphs for Brown, who added five runner-up results and seven third-place finishes to close the season with 20 podiums, giving him a podium in nearly one third of his starts. He also set quick time during qualifying 12 different times, including setting a new track record at Port Royal Speedway in Port Royal, Pa., and at Terre Haute Action Track in Terre Haute, Ind.
“Consistency is key in racing,” he said. “If you can consistently put yourself in the top three and top five the wins will come. We had some really good results this year in races we didn’t win. Of course you can look back and nitpick all the races you could have won and didn’t, but that’s what makes this sport so tough.”
Brown earned six top fives during World of Outlaws action, including a season-best third-place finish at the AGCO Jackson Nationals hosted by Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn. He also posted a runner-up result during the Hard Knox Night at the Knoxville Nationals at Knoxville Raceway.
“The way our team rebounded from a terrible preliminary night during the Knoxville Nationals to battle for the Hard Knox Night victory shows how hard this team works,” he said. “We put so much focus and energy on the Knoxville Nationals. Just about anything that could go wrong went wrong during our preliminary night. However, everyone kept their head down and kept working and it showed during Hard Knox Night when we were able to earn a second-place finish to lock into the Knoxville Nationals A Main.
“That’s one of the biggest things I’ll take from this year. We had some wins and great results, but the hustle and hard work from the team is something I’m very proud of. Also, our great partners who have supported us night in and night out are very valuable. I want to thank them as well as my family and crew. We’re all determined to make 2019 our best season ever.”
Brown noted that all of the team’s partners are returning in 2019 and there are marketing opportunities available on the car for next season.
“We also want to thank Michael Williams for three great years as a crew member and we wish him good luck in the next chapter of his life and we welcome Nate Steinhaus to our team,” he said.
