Matco Tools Top Fuel Dragster Team Heads to Denver

Morrison, CO – The Mile-High Nationals serves as the kick-off to the three-race Western SwingBrown is an 11-time winner on the Swing, with three Denver triumphs, four wins in Seattle, and four in Sonoma.

In 2023, Brown will be looking to ‘Sweep the Swing’ for the second time in his career. No other Camping World Series driver has been successful in winning all three Western Swing events since Brown accomplished the challenging feat in 2009.  Brown is one of only seven Camping World Series drivers to have swept the Swing.
As a member of the Toyota Gazoo Racing team, Brown is vying to win Toyota’s 200th NHRA trophy (current Toyota NHRA win count: 199).

Brown talks about Denver, “Denver is always one of the toughest races on the circuit. I’ve had great success there in the past. Our Matco Tools team has been hard at work on our combination, we’ve been testing and we’ve been making some good power so I’m anxious to see what we can do with that power up there on the mountain.

“With this being the last race at Bandimere, we definitely want to go out with a bang and finish Sunday with a trophy in our hands at the top of that mountain. Very excited to get there, we’re expecting a big turnout from our local Matco Tools and FVP folks coming out, so we’re looking forward to getting back to Denver one last time and seeing what we can do.”
