Norwalk, OH – Antron returns as the defending event champion.  Norwalk is considered a homecoming race for Brown and the Matco Tools Top Fuel team: Matco’s corporate headquarters are located approximately 75 miles east of the track in Stow, Ohio, and Summit Racing Equipment’s headquarters is located in Tallmadge, Ohio

Crew chief Brian Corradi is an Ohio native and is the owner of the popular Master Pizza restaurant with multiple locations in the Cleveland area.

Brown on Norwalk, “We had success there last year with the win so looking to the Norwalk race to really turn our season around. It’s Matco Tools headquarters and Race Winning Brands, and just ready to go rounds and show out. We know it’s going to be tricky and it’s going to be warm, but we’re looking forward to a successful outing this weekend to close out this June stretch of races on a high note.”
