Brown Set to Defend Home Dirt as Outlaws Invade Knoxville Raceway
Runner-up finish last weekend sparks confidence for defending track champion
CONCORD, N.C. — June 7, 2011 — The yellow flag waved over the field with nine laps to go in the Kansas City Shootout on Saturday night at Lakeside (Kan.) Speedway. Brian Brown had led from the green flag. He was seeking his first World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series victory. Now, facing a double-file restart alongside legend Steve Kinser, he had a decision to make: Do I go to the top and hope I can carry the momentum around the half-mile oval, or do I line up on the bottom and try to get out in front of Kinser?
