Fresh off his first victory of the 2026 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season, four-time NHRA Top Fuel world champion Antron Brown will make a special appearance at the Summit Racing Equipment Super Store in Tallmadge, Ohio, on Wednesday, June 24.
Brown and the AB Motorsports team will first join Summit Racing Equipment employees for the company’s annual employee picnic before opening the festivities to fans during the Summit Racing Equipment Meet & Greet from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
The public event will give fans the opportunity to meet Brown, collect autographs, take photos and celebrate his recent victory while visiting Summit Racing Equipment’s flagship retail location at 1200 Southeast Ave., Tallmadge, Ohio 44278. The super store features a massive showroom stocked with performance parts, tools, accessories and racing equipment for enthusiasts of every level.
The appearance comes just days after Brown captured his first career victory at Bristol Dragway, earning the special 60th anniversary diamond Wally trophy and his first win of the 2026 season at the Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals.
“As we get ready for the Summit Racing NHRA Nationals, we’re very excited to have Antron and the team stopping by for the meet and greet at our retail store,” said Jim Greenleaf, Summit Racing Motorsports and Events Manager. “Our customers and employees look forward to hanging out with Antron and congratulating him on the win last week in Bristol.”
Summit Racing Equipment has been a valued partner of AB Motorsports since joining the team in February 2022 as part of a multi-year marketing agreement during the organization’s inaugural Top Fuel season.
“Summit Racing Equipment has been an important part of AB Motorsports since we launched our Top Fuel team,” Brown said. “They’ve believed in what we’re building and have supported us every step of the way. We’re proud to represent Summit on and off the racetrack, and this meet-and-greet is a great opportunity to thank their employees and customers for being such a big part of our journey. I always enjoy spending time with racing fans, and there’s no better place to do that than at Summit Racing.”
Following Wednesday’s appearance, Brown and the Matco Tools-backed AB Motorsports team will head to Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio, for the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals, June 26-28.
Fans will also have another opportunity to meet Brown on Friday at 2 p.m. when he appears in the Summit Racing Equipment Midway Area for an autograph session at Summit Motorsports Park during the NHRA national event.
