Antron Brown raced to his third Lucas Oil Raceway win Monday when the action came to an end at the prestigious Mac Tools U.S. Nationals presented by Lucas Oil.  

Brown became the first driver to win the historic event in both Top Fuel and Pro Stock Motorcycle when he powered his Matco Tools dragster to a 3.813-second run at 321.73 mph. The final-round performance was enough to get past Del Worsham and secure his fifth win of the season and 30th of his career.

Words cannot describe how this feels,” said Brown. “To come here and win at Indy, the biggest stage in drag racing, means so much. It just goes back to my childhood dream and sitting under those grandstands as a kid and saying ‘I want to do that one day.’ It’s the greatest feeling I’ve ever had.” www.nhra.com

It is not often the representative for the fastest sport in the world can bring together every segment of the varied demographics across the nation; but Antron has done just that.....again.

It will not be stated in any of the "camps", but when the switch was made from Pro Stock Bike to Top Fuel, many felt he was stepping into a field of "hell", however being able to bring excitement into what was a somewhat mundane catagory is what the NHRA needed.

Even though NHRA has the most diverse group of competitors in motorsports, Antron has eliminated the void in the vast number of classes.

Of course, it does help to bring and satisfy the sponsors.

Its too bad we can't get the same visibility for the Sportsman Classes.  A lot of viewers would be surprised as to "who" the competitors are.
