Brown currently has led the Mello Yello Series Top Fuel point standings since winning the NHRA Four-Wides at Charlotte in his Matco Tools/Toyota Top Fuel dragster in March. This weekend, he'll take to the track in a race-prepped Scion FR-S on the same course that will host the IndyCars in the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.
It won't be Brown's first time to step out of the dragster as he tested a NASCAR K&N Series Toyota Camry with REV Racing arranged through long-time sponsor Toyota in 2013.
Among Brown's competitors this weekend will be actor Robert Patrick (Terminator 2, currently CBS' Scorpion), former NFL star Willie Gault, GooGoo Dolls lead singer John Rzeznik, super-model Donna Feldman, multiple-time Olympic gold medalist Dara Torres, soap opera star Josh Morrow and iCarly star Nathan Kress.
