Neat, Despain, Goodman, Carr and Patterson Take Wins on
Opening Night at Brownstown
BROWNSTOWN, IN (March 10) – The Brownstown Speedway opened
its 60th year of racing on Saturday Night hosting five divisions of
racing. Brad Neat of Dunnville, KY captured the Late Model
feature, Elliott Despain of Campbellsville, KY took the UMP Modified main,
Dusten Carr of Scottsburg, IN won the Pure Stock Feature, Justin Patterson of
North Vernon, IN won his first career main taking the Hornet division victory
and Cullen Goodman of Hymera, IN was victorious in the Super Stock finale.
The Late Model 25-lap main event was a hotly contested race
from start-to-finish as Brad Neat would take his second career win at
Brownstown. Justin Rattliff of Campbellsville, KY would lead
the first five laps of the race with constant pressure from Greg Johnson of
Bedford, IN. The complexion of the race would change after a
lap restart as Johnson would take the lead in turn two from Rattliff as both
Rattliff and Neat, who was running third, would lose several positions in the
running order.
Johnson would then fend off challenges from Kent Robinson
of Bloomington, IN for the next seven laps as Neat, who had had dropped to
eighth place charged back using the top groove of the race track as the
frontrunners were running the bottom. Neat would
lap-after-lap gain a spot until he reached second on the 15th
circuit. Neat would then pull alongside Johnson in the battle
for the top spot as the two ran side-by-side for a lap until Neat was finally
able to clear Johnson for the lead.
A caution with five laps to go set up a five-lap dash to
the finish as Neat was able to pull away in the waning laps for the win.
Neat’s only other win at Brownstown was in 2005 when he won a non-winners
feature race the night before the Jackson 100 that year.
“It’s great to win here at Brownstown, it’s been a while, the track was great
tonight, if it is like this for the Icebreaker the fans are going to see some
great racing, I borrowed a couple of my brother Dustin’s crew to come up here
tonight, we will be back here in two weeks with a brand new MasterSbilt Race Car
and maybe we’ll end up right back here in victory lane,” said the 32-year-old
Neat.
Johnson, who led for 11 laps during the race in the Jack
Rainey-owned, Bedford Transport, Rayburn Chevrolet barely edged out Rattliff at
the finish to take second as he had to hold off a last lap challenge from the
young Kentucky driver. Rattliff’s MGL Auto Sales, Estes
Racing Engines, Bloomquist Race Cars entry would take home third followed by
Jeremy Hines of Seymour, IN in the Lloyd’s Body Shop, Cornett Racing Engines,
MasterSbilt and Joe Janowski of Carmel, IN rounded out the
top five in the Janowski Motorsports, MasterSbilt.
In the UMP Modified Division Elliott Despain of
Campbellsville, KY captured his first win at Brownstown taking home the
checkered flag in the 25-lap main event. Despain was
unchallenged over the last half of the race as he sped on for the victory in the

long-time and its feels great to finally get a win here at Brownstown, it’s one
of the best tracks in the country, I have to thank my mom and dad and everybody
else who makes this possible, the track was excellent tonight and we look
forward to coming back.”

in the Zimmerman’s Speed Shop, SPEC Racing Engines, Griffis Race Cars entry.
Another first-time winner Brownstown was Dusten
Carr of Scottsburg, IN who captured the Pure Stock Feature.
Carr would lead the entire race, but he had to hold his breath in the last few
laps as Mickey Hines pulled alongside of him in turn two with a couple of laps
to go, but Carr fought off the challenge of Hines as he went on to score his
first win. “Man this is awesome, I have to thank all my crew
and family and everybody else for their help, thanks to (Tim) Keithley for
giving us a great place to race at, this is something I will always remember,”
