Brown impressive in RWR Truck debut

October 24th, 2009

No stranger to short track racing, Tim Brown took his skills from Bowman-Gray Stadium and applied them to Martinsville Speedway Saturday. After qualifying in the 26th position in the #08 Fastwax.com Chevy, Brown battled the field of veterans of NASCAR at a track that is as tough as any,

Early, Brown let things unfold and was running solid in the 19th position a lap down as the leaders had clear running while Brown battled competitors in the pack.

When a caution fell Brown looked at a chance to pounce to get back on the lead lap. The Fastwax Chevy battled TJ Bell and took the point for the “Lucky Dog” when the sway bar came apart.

Brown pulled the truck into the garage and in minutes had a new sway bar in and back on the track. Martinsville can eat laps and in just a 30 second lap, competitors fall behind.

Returning to the track 22 laps down, Brown played safe. He made clear and clean passes the remainder of the evening and worked well with veterans.

At the drop of a green flag, Brown would restart last to not get caught up in somebody else’s wreck. Within five laps, Tim would drive up to the 12th place truck, passing each as a pro. When a caution flew again, Brown repeated his performance. On six different occassions Brown drove past top 15 finishing trucks with ease and finished the day in the 27th position.

“We had a great truck and a little part cost us. We had a truck capable of a Top 10 if the sway bar would have stayed together. Either way I learned alot and I look forward to working in this truck again with the Ware guys. This was their debut also and people who watched saw that we are as fast as anyone”, stated Tim Brown

October 17th, 2009

Tim Brown knows how to get around a short track. The 8-Time Bowman Gray Stadium Champion in the Whelen Modifieds looks to show the rest of the racing world just how good he is. “The Rocket” will be running for SS Greenlight in the #08 at Martinsville in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

Brown will see a familar face in his stable as well at Martinsville, as long time rival at Bowman Gray, as Burt Myers will be in another SS Greenlight Chevy. “This is pretty neat that both of us are racing in the same race. Odd that we are teammates. Im sure the BGS fans are wondering if this is a twilight zone race.”

Brown will be piloting the #08 Fastwax.com Chevy and has tech and pit support from Micheal Waltrip Racing and Rick Ware Racing.
