2009 Season Review: Enjoying his most productive season in the Super DIRTcar Series alongside teammate Matt Sheppard, Brownell missed five shows yet used three top-5 finishes to reach paydirt in the final Hoosier Tire-VP Racing Fuels Mr. DIRTcar Modified Championship. Opening with a career-best second-place series finish at Big Diamond Raceway in Pennsylvania, the recently recognized Glen Ridge Motorsports Park (5 wins) Big-Block points titlist added two more front-fives at Lebanon Valley and Rolling Wheels Raceway to put his father’s JB Motorsports no. 29 XTreme Lubricants/Bicknell ride into a points fund payoff position. Also picking up his first-ever feature win at Canandaigua (NY) Speedway during the regular season, Brownell garnered four heat race victories on tour to highlight his best year to date.

DIRTcar Racing Record: Jumping behind the wheel of a mighty Big-Block Modified in his Y2K short track debut, Brownell has been a weekend fixture primarily at DIRTcar NE charter member ovals Cayuga County and Canandaigua, finishing 6th (CCFS) and 7th (CAN) in 2009 track points after climbing to 8th (CCFS), 12th (CAN) and 13th (Rolling Wheels) on the final ’08 speedway charts. He scored his first Big-Block wins at Cayuga County in 2005, in the last half of the decade mixing in brief stints further north at both Can-Am Motorsports Park and Thunder Alley Speedpark as well as Glen Ridge on Fridays where he was crowned ’08 and ’09 points king.

Also racing carts at Paradise Speedway and indoors at tracks such as the one at the Center of Progress Building on the NYS Fairgrounds.
