The All Star Circuit of Champions wish to express our sincere condolences in the loss of NST President Fred Brownfield.
Fred was hit by a modified during the Modified Nationals last evening at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, WA. He did not make it.
Fred's company - Brownfield Promotions - took up the challenge to create and promote the National Sprint Tour.
Fred’s involvement with the sport of auto racing started nearly thirty years ago in Monroe, WA where he won the Rookie of the Year award as a driver at Sky Valley Speedway. His driving boasts numerous titles and awards. He was a cautious driver with an excellent safety record, but aggressive and skillful enough to rack up four Skagit Speedway Sprint championships.
Fred's knowledge of the sport of auto racing earned the respect of race participants not only for his accomplishments behind the wheel, but also for his promotional successes. His initial promotional outing was a successful two-year stint running Skagit Speedway in 1994 and 1995. During this time he promoted the first tour in the Northwest of both SCRA, the premier wingless sprint group out of southern California, and the midgets of BCRA from the Bay Cities. This business savvy earned him a nomination for Promoter of the Year in 1994.
In 1996 Fred created the Northern Sprint Tour, a 360 touring group in the Pacific Northwest. The success of the Northern Sprint Tour was instrumental in his being nominated for the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum's "360 Sprint Car Promoter of the Year" in 2000 and then winning the honor in 2001.
In 1998 Fred assumed management of Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, WA. After many improvements Grays Harbor Raceway is now recognized as one of the premier dirt track racing facilities in the nation.
Please pray for:
Debbie his wife
Carrie, Jessica, and Shelby his daughters
Ty and Luke his sons
