Blake Brown increased his point lead in the American Ethanol Super Trucks after sweeping the field tonight. Brown set fast time and won both twenty lap features enroute to picking up the overall win.
Steve Dobbratz and Jerry Wood brought the field to the green in the first 20 lap featue with Wood taking the advantage. Meanwhile, Brown was working his way up through the field and on lap 7 passed Kurt Kleven for third. Next on his radar was Camden Murphy who he was able to pass on lap.
Now it was time to catch the leader. On lap 10 he was able to find room on the inside of Wood for the lead and the two raced side by side for four laps before Brown was able to take the lead. The caution flag would come out on lap 18 for a spin setting up a double file restart with two laps to go.
Both Brown and Wood chose the inside with Chester Ace moving up to take the spot alongside Brown. Brown was able to hold off Ace, but not without a fight, to pick up the victory.
“It was a lot of fun. These guys are great to work with and my truck was really set up well,” said Brown.
In the second 20 lap event, Joshua James took the lead after a spin on lap 1 and was in command from the start. On lap 3 Kevin Knuese passed John Beale for second place while Brown was working his way through the field after starting last.
On lap 6 Brown powered his way past Jerry Wood for third and began chasing down Knuese. As the race stayed green, James continued to show the way out front while Brown moved into second on lap 16.
The question is would Brown have enough time to catch James. As the laps counted down the lead began to shrink and with two to Brown was on the tailgate of the leader and eventually found room on the inside to take the lead and pick up the clean sweep.
“I have to thank the guys for getting this truck set up perfectly. Chad and the guys did a great job. This truck is so fun to race and to win twice is pretty nice,” said Brown.
