Denver, Sunday: U.S. Army Pro Stock Motorcycle pilot Antron Brown almost provided the U.S. Army a "double up" victory, but came up just short in the finals. Despite dropping a close final round race to Ryan Schnitz, Brown moved to within one point of Pro Stock Motorcycle leader, G.T. Tonglet.

"This U.S. Army team worked extremely hard this weekend and the results were there," he said. "We've been cutting away at that lead for some time now and we're just about there. We're bound and determined to get it sooner than later."

The New Jersey native utilized a group of outstanding reaction times to advance to his encounter with Schnitz. In a first round win over Karen Stoffer, he even posted a perfect .000 launch from the starting line.

"This was a good day despite not getting the win," he added. "We'll definitely be ready to roll again in two weeks (the Pro Stock Motorcycles rejoin the NHRA tour at the FRAM Autolite Nationals in Sonoma, Calif., July 29-31)."
