/

The NHRA drivers are heading into Vegas for the first four-wide event of the year, and this is the first time that Antron Brown heads to Vegas as the team owner.

Las Vegas 1 Event Highlights:

  • Three-time LV1 event champion (2011, 2016, 2017)

  • Three-time runner-up (2008, 2012, 2013)

  • Four-time No. 1 qualifier (2010, 2012 - 2014)

Note: The Las Vegas 1 four-wide format was first introduced in 2018

2021 Las Vegas 1 Recap:
Qualified eighth; Semifinal finish (defeated Justin Ashley, BYE in E1, Brittany Force, Billy Torrence in E2; defeated by Steve Torrence, Doug Kalitta in E3)

Last Event (Gainesville):
DNQ

Career Statistics:
464 races; 68 wins (16 Pro Stock Motorcycle); 49 No. 1 Qualifiers (11 PSM)

Noteworthy:

  • Brown hasn’t yet tasted four-wide success in Las Vegas, but has plenty of experience maneuvering the unique format with two wins and a runner-up finish at the Charlotte four-wide event, scheduled for later this month

Quotable:
“I always get pumped up going to the Las Vegas Four-Wide Nationals, it’s a battle royale that I love to be a part of. I’ve had a lot of success at The Strip in the past. I’ve won the Vegas Spring race a few times, but have yet to win a four-wide event there and that’s definitely one I want to check off my bucket list. Looking at the forecast, the weather looks nice and we’re ready to make four good qualifying laps, and rebound after Gainesville. We want to come out with a good fresh start to this 2022 season, and we’re looking for Vegas to roll the dice and get our season going.”
