Antron Brown Sees NHRA Allowing Drivers to Compete in Multiple Pro Classes at Same Event
Six-time Pro Stock champion Erica Enders triggers talk about pro racers being allowed to compete in two different classes at the same event. The NHRA has not made any official change in the rule—still one class per event. Former Pro Stock Motorcycle and now Top Fuel owner-driver Antron Brown predicts the sanctioning body will allow that. Erica Enders was open about the fact she and her Elite Motorsports team owner Richard Freeman had 'started working with NHRA on planning to be able to drive' in two pro classes at the same event. She indicated that the sticking point for the sanctioning body was live-TV-related. She had toyed with the idea of adding a Funny Car to her agenda and later considered a Top Fuel dragster. Because Funny Car and Pro Stock usually run back-to-back, Enders said, NHRA officials told her, 'If you run the dragster and you run Pro Stock, we can figure it out.'That makes Antron Brown's assertions from a preseason conversation at Phoenix with Autoweek convincing. The three-time Top Fuel champion claimed that one day he will be driving a Pro Stock car as well as his dragster and maybe even a dragster and a Pro Mod. 'Or maybe,' Brown said, 'one day I'd be in a marathon of racing. I would love to do a Pro Stock bike, Pro Stock car, Funny Car, and Top Fuel car' in a single event. Brown, the 16-time Pro Stock Motorcycle winner who moved to Top Fuel in 2008, said, 'You know how I got into this sport? I got into this sport because my dad was a super-fan of Pro Stock car. I knew every Pro Stock car driver and always wanted to drive a Pro Stock car and never got to drive one. Isn't that crazy? "Super-fan of Pro Stock car from the Lee Shepherd days to Bob Glidden to Warren Johnson, all them fighting each other. The Jerry Ekmans were out there. I knew all the names of Pro Stock car. I knew every single one: Scott Geoffrion and the Wayne County Boys, all of them: Daryl Alderman. I remember all the names back in the day of how they raced and what they do... Mark Pawuk, 'The Cowboy'... all the names that made Pro Stock car what it is.' And he said he can race a Pro Stock car, too: 'I know how to make it happen. I can click the gears and everything.'And he said he's convinced the NHRA will approve multi-pro-category racing.'I'm going to do it one day. I've been talking to 'em,' Brown said.
