Most 14-year-old kids are out at the beach in the summer time and having fun with their friends at a theme park.

Logan Brown is not one of those kids hes more concerned with making his race cars and go-karts go fast every week.

After an outstanding career in the local and national karting scene, where he ran to a total of 70 career wins, eight track championships along with three consecutive New York State Indoor Karting titles since he started at the age of five, Brown and his family decided the next step was the DIRTCar Sportsman ranks at his home track of Can Am.

His first ever start last April at Can Am in the Donath Motorworx Limited Sportsman ranks, resulted in his first career win, something not even his family thought was possible.

Not in a million years did we expect him to do what he did this year, said both Jamie and Jennifer Brown, Logans Mom and Dad. He would score the first of seven Can Am Wins last year.

Along the way Brown tested his talents in limited starts in the Novice Sportsman class on the tight quarter mile at the Brockville Ontario Speedway, where he also went to victory lane on two occasions, for a total of nine wins in his first full season behind the wheel of a full size race car.

When Brown was not taking checkered flags at Can Am or Brockville, he was able to fill his racing schedule with other events at Weedsport, Fulton and Mohawk, where he was able to score solid top five runs. He also never forgot his roots in the karting ranks, scoring five feature wins in last years campaign.

After a solid rookie season, what is the next step for Brown? Very simple: test his talents in weekly competition against the top drivers in the Bob Johnson Auto Group DIRTCar Sportsman division at Can Am on Friday nights.

With drivers like defending track champion Mike Fowler, Gavin Eisele, Eric Nier, Brennan Moore, Jessica Power and a host of other top drivers, Brown will have his hands full but his competition knows he will pick up the pace quickly this year. Brown already has had laps against the top stars, having competed in a few, end of the season DIRTCar Sportsman Series races at several area tracks last year. 

We thank all of our loyal sponsors, along with family and friends for their generous contributions to our racing program. Brown said. Without them this wouldnt be possible.
