Brandon Brown expected to run partial NXS schedule: Brandon Brown, one of NASCAR’s young guns continues to climb the ranks with his family-owned team. Brown and Brandonbilt Motorsports will move up to the XFINITY Series for at least 10 races in 2017, the team has told Frontstretch, jumping to the higher division while focusing their funding on select events. The team is “90 percent sure” it will be at Daytona International Speedway to kickoff the season in February. Jerry Brown, owner of Brandonbilt Motorsports admitted they’ve got two chassis and are looking to purchase a used speedway car for the opening event. Either way, he’s committed to upping the ante while transitioning into NASCAR’s second-tier division. Other races that the team will attempt to qualify for include Atlanta Motor Speedway (March 4), Richmond International Raceway (April 29), Dover International Speedway (June 3), Pocono Raceway (June 10), Kentucky Speedway (July 7), Bristol Motor Speedway (August 18), Richmond (September 8), Kentucky (September 23), Charlotte Motor Speedway (October 6) and Homestead-Miami Speedway (November 18). The team is also hopeful to compete at Darlington Raceway on Labor Day weekend due to its close ties with Coastal Carolina University, located 67 miles from the racetrack. Adam Brenner, who has been with Brown since he debuted in the Truck Series in 2014, will lead the team atop the pit box. Brown will still compete in four Camping World Truck Series races in 2017.(Frontstretch)(1-5-2017)
