Brown County Speedway is under new management for this coming 2020 race season and the racing community has reason to be excited. During the last 5 to 10 years of racing at the speedway there has been many different promoters bringing along many different inconsistencies. Brown County Speedway is actually owned by the Brown county so promoters don’t know how long they may have the track. This inconvenience has discouraged past promoters to make an investment in the track to make improvements. With all this being said the new promoters instantly started to make major improvements to the track by bringing in new dirt and reshaping the track back to it’s old glory.

Trevor Nelson is a second generation race car driver who can just straight up wheel a car. He started his racing career in the Super stock class in 2013. He got his first career win in 2014 and never looked back as the Warner, SD native is at exactly 50 feature wins in his young racing career. With those 50 wins he has also managed to win 3 track titles, 2 at Casino Speedway in Watertown, SD and 1 at Brown County Speedway in Aberdeen, SD. Trevor is also a very humble and down to earth young man. You would think for a 25, soon to be 26 year old all this success would get to your head and make you cocky but Trevor just knows how to handle himself professionally.

“The Dirt Doctor” Lorin Johnson

Lorin Johnson is another wheel man to be considered one of the greatest to drive a race car in the northern part of the country. The Miller, SD native has been racing since 1982 or 1983 (I know its one of these two years) and has been virtually unbeatable to this day. In 1983 he won his first track championships at Dakota State Fair Speedway in Huron, SD and at Miller Speedway in Miller, SD. He now has too many track championships to keep track of to go along with a Wissota Modified national championship. Over his 36 year career he has accumulated over 330 feature wins as well. Lorin is also a guy who has time to lend a bit of advise to anyone new to the sport or anyone who’s been doing it for a while.
