AB Motorsports
Established in 2019, AB Motorsports is a single-car NHRA Top Fuel team owned and operated by four-time world champion Antron Brown. The team competes on the 20-race NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series circuit thanks to the support of Matco Tools, Lucas Oil, Toyota, SiriusXM, Factory Motor Parts and its FVP brand, Hangsterfer’s Metal Working Lubricants, Summit Racing Equipment, Streamlight, Western Technical College, Fire Dept. Coffee, and Genesis Attachments.
Headquartered in Brownsburg, Indiana, AB Motorsports made its on-track debut in 2022 and has collected 12 wins throughout its first three seasons.
Brown, who serves as both the driver and owner of the AB Motorsports Top Fuel dragster, is the only competitor in NHRA history to have won races in both the Top Fuel and Pro Stock Motorcycle categories. In addition to his 50 No. 1 qualifier awards, Brown is an 80-time NHRA national event winner and became the first Black driver to win a major U.S. auto racing championship when he captured his first NHRA Top Fuel series title in 2012. He made history yet again in 2024 when he captured his first Top Fuel crown as a team owner, becoming the first Black championship-winning owner/driver.
In 2023, Brown launched the AB Motorsports Accelerate Program, an all-encompassing driver development initiative aimed at helping racers advance in their careers. Three-time Pro Stock Motorcycle world champion Angelle Sampey was the first athlete to join the Accelerate Program. She made her Top Alcohol Dragster debut in October 2023 and continues to compete in the category as she progresses toward the premier Top Fuel class.
