Brown grew up in the hotbed of sprint car racing in Indiana. She spent most of her childhood in the infield at the Terre Haute Action Track, so dirt track racing was a love of hers from an early age. A graduate of Indiana State University, Brown began her foray into racing while pursing a Masters Degree in Communication with an emphasis in Public Relations. While earning her degree Brown integrated auto racing into her studies by interning at Lincoln Park Speedway, Daytona International Speedway Communication Department and pit reporting for the Indy Racing League. Brown also served as a co-host on a regional racing radio show.

Brown’s first fulltime position was with the Champ Car World Series. There Brown honed her talents in the PR field handling writing, media relations, community relations and various other duties for the series. Since the demise of the series Brown has been teaching composition at a community college in Indianapolis and writing for various websites and publications.
