FROM ANTRON BROWN Driver of the Matco Tools Eagle Experience Top Fuel DragsterHeader Goes Here

"We're going in with some motivation. We've got some confidence. We're in a good place with the race car. All the testing that we've been doing has been paying off. The team is gelling. We're hungry, and yet we are still humble going in here because the competition is at an all-time high and everybody is running so good right now."

"I know one thing - our Matco Tools Eagle Experience car is on mean right now, and thank you to all our partners from FMP with the FVP brand, Hangsterfer's, Scouting America, World Wide Technology, and Summit Racing. We can't do this stuff without each and every one of you."
