His close friends like to call NHRA Top Fuel driver Antron Brown by his initials, \u201cA.B.\u201d<\/p>\n

But after the 2015 season, Brown should be referred to as \u201cA.B.C.\u201d \u2013 as in Antron Brown, champion.<\/p>\n

The way Brown won last year\u2019s Top Fuel crown may have looked easy, like A-B-C, you might say, earning a class-best and career-best seven wins and three runner-up finishes in 24 starts.<\/p>\n

But it was anything but easy for Brown, who put his championship trophy next to the one he won in 2012.<\/p>\n

Now, after an off-season where he basked in his second championship, it\u2019s back to work for the driver of the Don Schumacher Racing Matco Tools\/U.S. Army Top Fuel dragster.<\/p>\n

Can Brown make it two titles in a row and a third overall? No problem, it\u2019s like ABC, Brown said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe formula hasn\u2019t changed but we have to evolve and get even better,\u201d Brown said in a media release. \u201cEverybody else in the class has made adjustments to improve and that\u2019s what we\u2019re striving to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to be just as efficient but even quicker. In this age, you have to be the quickest and most efficient. That\u2019s where the level is at in this class. We just have to keep on pushing to try and make more history.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes a whole team to have that strong competitive drive and that\u2019s what makes our team so special. Each team member keeps everyone in check and that\u2019s what it takes to be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n
