Next week, he\u2019ll make his Pro Modified debut competing in the Snowbird Outlaw Nationals presented by Motion Raceworks, Dec. 5-8, at Bradenton Motorsports Park. It\u2019s the first of three races in the inaugural Drag Illustrated Winter Series presented by J&amp;A Service, with Brown planning to compete in all three events to chase another championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While Brown typically competes in the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series, he\u2019s no stranger to Bradenton and the Snowbirds. Two years ago, he won the Snowbirds in his Pro 275 debut driving for Manny Buginga. He\u2019s partnered up with Buginga again to make his Pro Mod debut. Brown will drive Buginga\u2019s ProCharged red Lexus RCF tuned by legendary doorslammer tuner Steve Petty.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1350\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/dragillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DIWS_Antron-Brown-in-car.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79550\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Brown, whose recent Top Fuel championship is his first since launching AB Motorsports, asserts that he isn\u2019t just entering the shark-infested Pro Mod waters to participate. He\u2019s coming to win.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do nothing in life to come out there just to be out there,\u201d Brown said. \u201cI want to come and I want to win and have a chance to win. I line up against big dogs every day. That\u2019s what I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brown will be in familiar company at the Snowbirds, as his Top Fuel crew chief, Brian Corradi, is also debuting a Pro Mod entry of his own. Two-time NHRA U.S. Nationals Top Dragster winner Zach Sackman will drive that entry.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody on my team is involved,\u201d Brown said. \u201cEven my crew chief, Brian Corradi, has a car and he\u2019s going to have Zach Sackman drive it. He\u2019s a Top Dragster champion and he drives the wheels off a car. Brian\u2019s bringing back a theme from back in the day that will be pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brown and Sackman will compete against more than 60 drivers from Pro Mod and beyond, with drivers from Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings, drag radial classes, and more set to make their debut in Pro Mod as well. It will make for a unique cast of characters, and Brown is excited for the opportunity to mix it up with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cut up, we have fun, we keep our head down, and when we go to the starting line, don\u2019t let the smile fool you,\u201d Brown said. \u201cDon\u2019t get that twisted. When I put the helmet on and my visor goes down, I don\u2019t care who you are. I don\u2019t care if you\u2019re a girl. I don\u2019t care if you\u2019re a little kid. I don\u2019t care where you come from. I give nobody no false hope. If you\u2019re going to beat me, you\u2019re going to beat me. I ain\u2019t letting nobody win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the Snowbird Outlaw Nationals, the DI Winter Series presented by J&amp;A Service will continue with the U.S. Street Nationals presented by M&amp;M Transmission on Jan. 23-26, 2025; and the World Series of Pro Mod Feb. 27-March 1, 2025. Each race will feature a 32-car qualified field. The driver who earns the most points across all three races will be crowned the DI Winter Series champion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Snowbird Outlaw Nationals, U.S. Street Nationals, and World Series of Pro Mod will all also feature a wide range of classes in addition to Pro Mod.
