Brown returns to Australia after making a cameo appearance in the NASCAR Cup Series last weekend.
The 26-year-old Queenslander travelled to Sonoma Raceway in California steering the #33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. It was the same car reigning Supercars champion Brodie Kostecki piloted at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in August last year.
Brown’s teammate, Broc Feeney, is the only other driver to notch up multiple race victories this season, also chalking three to his name. The 21-year-old star is 136 points behind Brown, with two 48-lap races scheduled worth 150 points each this weekend.
Walkinshaw Andretti United’s Chaz Mostert will seek his second victory of the season, after winning Saturday’s race at the Perth SuperSprint last time out. Tickford Racing’s Cam Waters took out the Sunday race and sits fourth in the championship on 700 points.
Waters also contested the NASCAR Cup Series race in the United States on the weekend in the #60 RFK Racing Ford. Supercars’ presence at Sonoma was strong with three-time champion Shane van Gisbergen claiming his second victory of the year in Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race. The New Zealander made a full-time move Stateside to take on the NASCAR feeder series this year in a bid to reach the Cup Series, the pinnacle of racing in the United States.

The Victorian will drive the #888 Supercheap Auto Camaro ahead of contesting the Sandown 500 and Bathurst 1000 with three-time champion Craig Lowndes.
