Brian Brown – Brian and SuperClean Partner for Two More Years!
(Bill W) December 30, 2008 – Sprint car driver Brian Brown and SuperClean recently reached an agreement on a two-year partnership. Brian and SuperClean paired for a very successful 2008 season that saw the Grain Valley, Missouri driver capture nine wins in 62 events including the inaugural running of the Cowtown Nationals at the Cowtown Speedway in Kennedale, Texas, a track Brian had never seen before. Through the partnership with Brian Brown Racing, SuperClean has expanded the scope of its product to race fans throughout the Midwest and Southern United States.
Inking the contract with SuperClean is obviously huge for Brian. "Just being able to work with the SuperClean and Factory Motor Parts brand and the people like Kraig, Joel and Elliott, is the ultimate privilege for me," he says. "It's definitely one of the highlights of my career to work with such great people. It's an important step for us, and the winning tradition we're building here at Brian Brown Racing."
SuperClean's products have expanded their scope in the last few years, and being involved in racing has helped that expansion. "It's just a great product, and there are some great new products coming out," says Brian. "Just being able to fly the purple colors on the #21 is an awesome feeling, and I hope this is just the beginning, and we'll still be talking about this around 2015."
Despite an environment that is tough to justify sponsorship right now, SuperClean COO Kraig Reash says supporting drivers at the local level is key for his brand. "The economy is tough right now, and you see what's going on with sponsorship in NASCAR and Motorsports in general," he says. "It's tough. We've pared ours back as well, but we believe firmly in supporting the grassroots racing, and Brian is a big part of that. We're excited to sign Brian for an additional two years. He's been a great spokesperson for the brand, not only in the way he conducts himself at the races, but in the way he promotes and believes in the product. We're looking forward to bigger and better things in 2009."
Brian is mulling over the upcoming 2009 racing schedule, not only as a driver, but an owner. "We're looking at schedules right now, and I'm anxious to see what Knoxville is going to do with their purse or format…if they do anything," he says. "There's no other place I'd rather be on Saturday night, but we have to look at all aspects and schedules and see where that leaves us. I don't think the first five (Lucas Oil) ASCS races conflict with anywhere else we'd like to run, so we'll probably start there. Our goal is one way or other, to win 20 races, we haven't done that, and that's our goal for 2009."
Brian will be appearing at the SuperClean National Conference in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota January 21-23.
