Early life

Antron rode the bikes as an infant and began racing motorcycles at age six and motocross, riding on a farm course. As a high school senior, he ran his first competitive drag race.

Brown attended Northern Burlington County Regional High School before becoming a track star at Mercer County Community College in New Jersey, graduating in 1997 with an associate's degree in business administration. After being given a full scholarship to Long Island University's track, he was approached by football player Troy Vincent (married to Brown's cousin) who was leading a racing team.

Don Schumacher, a legend in motorcycles, died at the age of 79 due to complications from his fight against lung cancer

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 21, 2023
Don Schumacher, the 89-year-old NHRA team owner and drag-racing legend, died at the age of 79 after secretly combating lung cancer. The Motor Sports Hall of Famer succumbed to 'health-related issues,' according to NHRA.com.' Schumacher, who was born in Michigan and raised in Chicago, went on to become a drag racer and helped found the Funny Car class, winning more than 70% of the 560 matches in which he competed, according to the Hall of Fame. However, it's as a car owner that he may be best remembered, winning 19 NHRA world championships and 362 Wally trophies in comparison to the five that he won riding a Funny Car. Schumacher took a break from the sport in early 1970s to build his family's electric business, which he later turned into a multinational corporation. When he returned in 1998 as a car owner, it was his son Tony who became the family's most popular driver, winning 86 events.
