Two years later, he won the Jr. Restricted Light and Heavy Division championships, followed by the VKDA Series and Jr. Restricted Light and Heavy Division championships in 2009.[1] In 2010, Brown began competing in the Whelen All-American Series with family-owned Brandonbilt Motorsports,[2] winning a race and eventually the Virginia Rookie of the Year Award.[1] The next year, he won three races at Old Dominion Speedway.[3]

The following year, he attempted eight races, but failed to qualify for three. After starting the season with a 29th-place finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway,[6] he ended the year with a best finish of 14th at Dover International Speedway.[5]
In the 2016 season opener at Daytona International Speedway, Brown finished a career-best fourth place.[7] With this best finish, the team is attempting to run the full season, and Brown had decent finishes including a 12th place finish at Kansas, after saving his truck.
