Antron Brown has mastered straightaways.
Now, he’s ready to try turns.
Brown, the 2012 NHRA Top Fuel Dragster
champion, will test next week in a NASCAR K&N Series car at Motor Mile
Speedway in Radford, Va., with Rev Racing.
Brown, 37, will test at the track alongside
Rev Racing drivers Bryan Ortiz, Daniel Suarez, Meckena Bell and Ryan Gifford.
All are members of NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity program.
“I have a passion for NHRA drag racing,” Brown
said. “I’m very competitive at anything I do and I always love a new challenge.
I’m excited to have this opportunity to turn left.”
Both Rev Racing and Don Schumacher Racing,
Brown’s home in the NHRA, partner with Toyota.
“Toyota has been a supporter of diversity in
the work place, within its organization and specifically with the Rev Racing
program for many years,” said Keith Dahl, Toyota’s national manager of
motorsports and engagement marketing.
“Not only are DSR and Rev Racing committed
to winning championships, but they are also committed to pioneering diversity efforts
in motorsports.”
