Brown has his priorities in order headed into this weekend’s Summit
Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio where he will endeavor
to reach his sixth final round and notch his third win, of the season.
The racing aside, Brown has a far simple reason for being excited about being in Norwalk.
“I'm ready for my pound of ice cream for a dollar,” Brown explained, speaking of the track’s unique promotion. “I know my kids are ready for that too.”
Due to a special arrangement with a local ice cream producer, the track sells ice cream by the pound for a dollar. Sales of the summer treat aren't measured in dollars, but in pounds and if the past is a fair barometer, sales should easily exceed one ton.

The ice cream aside, running in Norwalk means so much more to Brown.
“It's real close to Matco's (Tools) headquarters, so this is a very big race for us her at MAR,” Brown said. “The family is jazzed about hitting up Splash City and Cedar Point and we're ready to win us another race.”
Two weeks ago, Brown raced the Matco Tools dragster to his second straight final round and fifth of the season.
“We've been doing really well lately, but we're tired of being the bridesmaid,” Brown admitted. “We want another 'Wally' trophy. But the real goal is to stay atop the points standings."
Brown, a four-time Top Fuel winner, has yet to advance past the second round of eliminations in the Norwalk NHRA race. The Matco Tools flagship driver qualified sixth last June in his Top Fuel debut at Norwalk at 4.652 at 291.51. He fell in round two to 17-time winner Brandon Bernstein, 4.650 to 4.861.
