Call him the Unsinkable Antron Brown.
 
The Matco Tools driver showed that not even a nasty-looking crash that destroyed his race car -- not even a quick turn-around time to learn brand-new, untested version of it -- could stop him from driving to the top of the Top Fuel pack.

The Matco Tools driver showed that not even a nasty-looking crash that destroyed his race car -- not even a quick turn-around time to learn brand-new, untested version of it -- could stop him from driving to the top of the Top Fuel pack.
 
Brown took the provisional No. 1 qualifying position Friday night with a 3.765-second pass at 314.83 mph on Firebird International Raceway's 1,000-foot course to cap the opening day of qualifying.

Brown described how he felt -- physically -- Friday, just five days after the Pomona accident that spun him around, banged him to the guard walls, and dumped him into the sand trap . . .  All in excess of 300 mph.
