Following The Rocket’s win, he drew 12th in the Madhouse scramble. As the green was waved, Brown immediately began trying to make his way through the field. He quickly made his way up to the 10th position by the fourth circuit. Maintaining 10th throughout the remainder of the race which aided no cautions, he crossed the checkered in 10th place on lap 25.

“I am proud of my team and the performance of the Hayes Jewelers modified. We were able to win for the fourth time this season in front of a packed house at BGS. Still not the season we were hoping for, but the performance is still there. We will try to finish with yet another win in the season finale. It’s a shame we didn’t have the chance for our ninth championship due to all the misfortune this season, but we will be back next season ready to try again.” stated Brown.
