After owning his own business for just a year and a half, Schure Built Suspensions (SBS) owner, Mike Schure, had the opportunity to watch several of his customers take to the track at a couple of the biggest sprint car events of the year. The Knoxville Nationals!! It's every sprint car driver's dream to win the Knoxville Nationals. SBS was fortunate enough to help one of their customers nearly fulfill that dream. Brian Brown who runs SBS valved Pro Shocks gave it all he had to finish in the runner up position, behind Donny Schatz, in Saturday nights finale of the Knoxville Nationals. "It's a great sense of accomplishment to have one of our customers run that strongly with such a high caliber of competition", said owner Mike Schure.
Brown's 2nd place finish in Saturday night's finale was probably the biggest highlight of the week for SBS, but they also had a couple of customers with great finishes at the 360 Nationals and at the Front Row Challenge in Oskaloosa, IA. "We had two customers make Saturday night's A main during the 360 Nationals. That's not easy to do with over 100 drivers competing", Schure said. Brian Brown was one of those customers finishing 8th and Kaley Gharst was the other coming home in the 19th spot. SBS customer, Jon Agan, fell a couple positions short of transferring into Saturday night's A main, finishing 7th in the B Main. And Kyle Bellm, a loyal customer who has had a very successful season with ASCS Warrior Region, saw himself transfer out of the E main but ended up a few spots shy of transferring out of the D main into the C main.
At the Front Row Challenge, SBS customers Brown and Gharst both had impressive runs. Brown ended up coming home in the 2nd position while Gharst, who started 19th, made a strong charge to the front to end up in the 7th spot, earning him the Hard Charger Award for the night.
All in all it was a very successful two weeks, in Knoxville, for Schure Built Suspensions. "We're very proud of all of our customers and enjoy watching them race", owner Mike Schure said.
