    Antron Brown raced to his fourth win of the season in Top Fuel on Sunday at the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals at Brainerd International Raceway.

    Johnny Gray (Funny Car), Greg Anderson (Pro Stock) and LE Tonglet (Pro Stock Motorcycle) were also winners at the 15th of 22 events in the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series.

    Brown powered his dragster past his Don Schumacher Racing teammate Tony Schumacher in the final round to collect the win. His final round run of 3.844 seconds at a top speed of 319.22 mph proved strong enough to secure his 29th career victory.

    It also moved him up to the second spot in the point standings with just one race remaining until the start of the six-race playoffs to determine the champions in each category.

    While Brown moved up in the point standings, Top Fuel pilot Brandon Bernstein clinched his berth in the Countdown to the Championship with his second round finish on Sunday. Only the final three spots in the Top 10 point standings in Top Fuel remain open.
