Brown took the checkers 1.083 seconds ahead of sixth-starting Bubba Roling for his fourth series victory this season.

Quotable: “I haven’t had a racecar like that in a long time, I felt comfortable the whole race,” Brown said. “I went on a little different tire than the two (drivers) in front of me. There at the beginning I just had to pace myself, but I just love this racetrack. They’ve done awesome with the place, it’s a lot racier than it used to be. Shoutout to everybody that puts this deal on, racing for $10,000 for someone like me is awesome.”
