Brown scores podium in Knoxville’s Capitani Classic; Knoxville Nationals launches Wednesday

By Fully Injected Motorsports:

GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (August 5, 2025) – “Blackjack” Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing have been on a tear at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, not only securing three straight top-ten appearances commencing with 360 Knoxville Nationals preliminary competition, but the multi-time track champion out of Grain Valley, Missouri, highlighted all recent starts with a podium outcome – finishing third in the annual Capitani Classic on Sunday, August 3.

Brown, ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mt. Dew Overdrive, Ditzfeld Transfer, Ditzfeld Container Service, No. 21 sprint car, commenced “The Cappy” from the same position in which he finished, outdueling much of the star-studded field that included most, if not all, of the Knoxville Nationals championship contenders. 

Prior to the Capitani Classic, Brown and Brian Brown Racing competed in Knoxville’s 360 Nationals, and as noted, concluded the event with back-to-back top-ten appearances which included a seventh-place score in his respective preliminary attempt. The former 360 Nationals champion raced on to finish tenth in the event’s finale, powering ahead from 16th on the grid.

“We got behind the eight ball a little bit during the 360 Nationals…ended up climbing from ninth to seventh during the preliminary and 16th to tenth in the finals. Not a ton of passing once you get up to speed with those things,” Brown noted. “We were really excited heading into Sunday. Ended our night running third in the A. The car is good, the engine is good, the team is working really well. Looking forward to having a great week.”

ON DECK:
Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2025 season with Knoxville Raceway’s 64th Knoxville Nationals on Wednesday through Saturday, August 6-9. Brown will qualify on Thursday.
