NHRA reporters Amanda Busick and Lewis Bloom caught up with Antron Brown via Skype from the Wally Parks NHRA Studio after his impressive win to start the 2016 Countdown to the Championship last weekend at zMAX Dragway.

Brown, who also started his 2015 championship run with a win at zMAX Dragway, is looking to win a second straight and third overall Top Fuel championship.

Brown also is looking forward to this weekend’s race in St. Louis, an event he has won the last four years in a row and in five of the seven years he has raced in Top Fuel. No Top Fuel driver has ever won the same event in five consecutive seasons, so that will be something to watch for this weekend on FS1.

Brown also looked back with Bloom and Busick at his 2012 championship clinch. After suffering back-to-back first-round losses in Las Vegas and Pomona, Brown didn’t win the championship until Tony Schumacher lost to Brandon Bernstein in the final round at the Auto Club NHRA Finals.
