Brown attends each year and was on hand early this week to unveil the 2017 Matco Tools dragster featuring the names of distributors that will ride with him on each lap this season in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series.
"It's great to be able to go to the Expo each year, talk to our distributors and just spend time with them," Brown said. "So many of them come out to the races to see our team and it's important for me to see them in this environment."
The Matco Tools team led by crew chiefs Brian Corradi and Mark Oswald with assistant Brad Mason have won the last two Top Fuel championships and have won three in the past five years.
The competition level in Top Fuel is at an all-time high and Brown knows what it takes to win.
"In Pomona we saw a lot of 3.6-second runs. That level is here to stay. We'll just have to keep pushing hard. If you want to win, you have to run in the .60s. With that being said, you go to work, keep your head down, you know what you've got to do, and I feel confident and love the guys I have in my corner and I know Brian, Mark and this whole Matco Tools/U.S. Army team know how to get it down the track."
Brown has three career event titles at Wild Horse Pass in four final round appearances.
"We did our preseason testing in Phoenix before we went to Pomona, but it could be a totally different racetrack from what we saw in testing so Brian and Mark will be ready. I'm looking forward to it. I felt like we had the car to win in Pomona and got to the semifinals so we are looking forward to getting the job done this weekend."
