Spring, Texas (02/18/14) – Chris Brown enjoyed a stellar start to his 2014 campaign over the weekend in his #21 Lone Star Hydro & Maintenance/LG21/Durham Racing Engine Open Wheel Modified as he raced to a pair of feature wins at Royal Purple Raceway (Baytown, Texas).
Chris Brown kicked off the 5th Annual USMTS Spring Nationals at Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas on Thursday night. Chris won his qualifying heat race which locked him into a sixth place starting spot for the 30 lap feature. Brown worked his way up to the third spot by lap ten, and made the pass on Fito Gallardo for the second spot just three laps later as he began to catch the leader. In the closing laps Chris caught race leader, Stormy Scott, as the two waged a side-by-side battle for the top spot. When the white flag flew Brown edged in front and went on to lead the final lap to narrowly score the victory. At the finish line it would be Brown scoring the victory followed by Stormy Scott in second, Johnny Scott, Rodney Sanders, and Jason Krohn rounding out the top five.
Chris continued his winning ways on Friday evening. Much like the previous night, Brown had to claw his way to the front during the 40 lap feature event that boasted a $3,000 top prize. He rolled off from the tenth starting position and quickly began his charge to the front when the field took the green. Chris began to apply pressure to early race leader Dereck Ramirez as the field saw they halfway signal. The caution flag came out on lap 22 for a multi-car tangle, giving Brown the opportunity he needed to make the pass for the lead just two circuits later. Chris led the remaining 16 laps for his ninth career USMTS victory. Rodney Sanders, Dereck Ramirez, Jeremy Payne and Zack VanderBeek rounded out the top five finishers.
The weekend drew to close with the $4,000-to-win finale on Saturday night. Chris failed to transfer into the feature via heat race action, but was able to secure a 15th place starting spot in the finale after he finished second in the b-main. During the course of the 50 lap feature, Brown drove by six other competitors in route to a ninth place finish.
“It was just an amazing start to the year for us,” commented Brown. “We are thrilled about the possibilities with these new cars, and our performances over the weekend show just how strong these new hot rods truly are. Special thanks goes to all of my great sponsors and supporters!”
