Chris Brown Wins USMTS Texas Winter Nationals Opener
Spring, Texas (11/23/11) – Chris Brown made a rare trio of starts in an Open Wheel Modified over the weekend in the Texas Winter Nationals and came away with a win and three top-ten-finishes to show for his efforts.
After a busy year of piloting his Super Late Model, Chris returned to his roots on Thursday night at Royal Purple Raceway (Baytown, Texas) as he entered the opening night of the Casey's General USMTS Open Wheel Modified Texas Winter Nationals. Piloting Kelly Shryock's backup #3b Skyrocket Brown started the night by winning his heat race from the second starting spot to lock into the redraw for the main event. In the redraw he would receive the pole starting spot for the $2,000-to-win finale with Rick Beebe starting to his outside. As the race went green Brown would motor to the lead, and once out front would never look back as he led all 35 laps to claim the win over Rodney Sanders, Ryan Gustin, Dereck Ramirez, and John O' Whittington. The victory was his fourth career Casey's General USMTS triumph.
On Friday night a $3,000 winner's check was up for grabs in the second leg of the weekend's tripleheader for the Casey's General USMTS Modified Series at Royal Purple Raceway (Baytown, Texas). A talented field of 75 Open Wheel Modifieds entered the event, and after advancing from the fifth starting position to a second place finish in heat race action, he locked into the twelfth starting spot for the 40 lap feature. Brown would advance three spots in the feature to score a ninth place finish at the checkered flag.
Chris concluded his tripleheader weekend on Saturday night with a $4,000-to-win, Casey's General USMTS Open Wheel Modified event, which also served as the tour's season finale. Seventy-one cars registered for action, and for the third straight night Brown would enjoy a solid performance in his heat as he advanced from the starting spot to claim the win, which again put him in the redraw for the feature. In the redraw he would receive the fifth starting spot. During the course of the main event he would battle in the top five, and when the checkered flag flew he was credited with a fifth place finish behind Dereck Ramirez, Jason Hughes, Jason Thoennes, and Rodney Sanders. Overall, it was a successful weekend as Chris was extremely grateful to Kelly Shryock for providing his backup car to be used for the events. Full weekend results are available at www.USMTS.com.
The event marked Brown's final event of the 2011 season as he now looks ahead to the 2012 season. Chris and the team would like to thank everyone for their support throughout the year!
