Brown, through his Accelerate driver development program, is not afraid to give a leg up to drivers who might even turn out to be his toughest rivals.
. The 28-year-old Ashley is a 13-time winner in Top Fuel and the sport's next superstar, and he's gotten plenty of advice and tips from Brown along his journey to the top of the Top Fuel standings.. "And, you know, the first time he really started working with me and giving me advice was probably around 2016 or so when I first started racing and doing dragster bracket racing. I even ended up racing an alcohol dragster and licensing in Anton's car in Top Fuel in 2017.
"And we're still working together on stuff, honestly. I'm still asking him for advice or asking him about certain things when I feel certain things in the race car or what he would do in certain situations." "I can't tell you how important it is for me to have him as somebody that I can lean on," Ashley said. "The interesting part is, with his Accelerate program, a lot of it is about driving and how to learn how to become a better driver. But what really makes it special is what he does off the track, too, on the marketing side and working with the sponsors and PR and social and media—what really makes a complete driver today. He's worked with me on all that stuff, too.
Brown, 47, emphasized that his mentorship is about so much more than just on-track tips and preparation advice. That's the easy part.
