CHANDLER, Ariz. -- Antron Brown's Don Schumacher-owned Matco Tools/U.S. Army dragster went out of control during a first-round race race against Troy Buff Sunday afternoon at Firebird International Raceway. Brown was released from the track medical staff, but went to Chandler Regional Hospital for further observation.

Brown qualified in the No. 4 position Saturday during the 26th annual Arizona Nationals and is the defending event champion of the Phoenix race. Brown, 33, has 24 career wins and is the only driver in NHRA history to win races in both Top Fuel and Pro Stock Motorcycle.

"We're racers and we race and I'm ok," Brown said. "It all happened so quickly and I want to thank the NHRA Safety Safari for being there so quickly to help get me out of the car and also the track medical team for tending to me so quickly."
